Hi all,
My 2012 TL developed a intermittent air conditioning problem. Would work perfectly then stop working. Could work fine for the next several days then the problem would arise. Not so great with our recent 90 degree days.
Brought it to the dealer which was next to useless. Spent the time describing the problem to the service writer who distilled the entire description to "customer state blows warm air"
With this description, the mechanic tested the electrics and drove it. Found no problem, of course. Picked up the car and asked to speak to the mechanic. Nice guy. Explained the situation in detail and he tentatively diagnosed as a failing, intermittent compressor clutch relay. I bought the part. Parts guy says they stock up on them this time of year. Mechanic installed in 3 minutes in the lot. Problem seemingly solved!
Part number is Honda 39794-SDA-A05.
Hope this can help a few people.
