Scotty My mom has a 2011 Honda CrV with 117k miles on it. Last summer it stopped working and she took it to get repaired and they flushed it and a couple months later it turned off again while we were driving. The next time she used it it was fine, but today it stopped working when she drove it. Then she drove it and it worked fine. So I think the ac is working intermittently; and just to be clear when it doesn't work it does not blow anything at all, not even hot air.
This is probably unrelated, but when the car is idling it shakes a little bit.
Oh actually, I just got more information that she said that its actually blowing just regular but still air, which is different from no air lol so its not the blower. I think it's the AC compressor or something like that. What do you think?
Do you know what is wrong with it and if so how could I fix it?
In my 2008 CR-V, Honda replaced the AC clutch for free as the part was under recall. It suddenly quit and all I got was non-cooled air.
Hi. So I'm guessing it could be a loose wire. As u said, the fan stops correct? The fan as in the cabin fan? I am assuming that it has automatic climate control with touch/buttons for the fan and all of that instead of switches and knobs. It could be a faulty board or a computer malfunction. It's possible that where she got the flush, they might have accidentally caused the problem.
It wasn't working before the flush so I don't think so, but you never know.
If it doesn’t blow anything at all, it’s your blower motor that’s the culprit. If you whack the dash a few times, and the blower starts blowing air, you’ll know for sure.
I don’t what those guys tried to flush for a blower motor issue. Anyway, here’s Scotty’s video on how to diagnose & fix the blower motor -
For the shaking when idling it could be a few things, but first, check all the engine & transmission mounts for wear.
Report back with the results & good luck!

I edited your opening post to reflect the new information. However, before you go replace the compressor, check the AC system to make sure it isn’t just low on refrigerant..
Ok Thanks
