Honda_Lady Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 well when you replace any A/C component you should also replace the Drier or Accumulator. this part collects water that may be in the system. also when replacing more then one A/C component the Drier or Accumulator should the the LAST part put on and even opened. having it open to air will collect moisture before the system is even closed. once the part is on you have to take it to a shop or dealer to have refrigerant put into the system. without refrigerant it won't cool. i would not recommend using the "do it yourself" cans of refrigerant you can get from Advance, Car Quest, or Auto Zone. another thing is since it is a 94 it may still be set up for R12 which is no longer used. if that is the case you would have to have the system converted to take R134. the connectors to add refrigerant are different for the two systems. because it didn't have a compressor on it at all you may have more system problems if it was open to air.

RonnyAtkinson Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 where is this drier or accumulator located. its it small and a cylinder on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda_Lady Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 on my 92 it is on the driver side towards the front bumper. look for a cylinder shaped part with 2 lines going into it. i did some searching for a A/C diagram for your year and it is on the opposite side from mine but it will still be toward he front of the car. it shouldn't be too hard to spot. on the diagram below it is number 8 so it will be on the passenger side for you. now most likely when you take that thing off, it will be saturated with water. the drier is designed to soak up moisture from the A/C system, if you didn't have one part of the system on there when you got the car, that drier will be filled with water.
