Replacement
1.Recover the refrigerant with a recovery/recycling/
charging station lsee page 22-271.
Disconnect the condenser fan connector from theAy'C wire harness, then remove the A,/C wire harnessfrom the condenser fan shroud.
Remove the bolts, then disconnect the dischargeand condenser lines from the condenser.
NOTE: Plug or cap the lines immediately after dis-connecting them to avoid moisture and dust con-tamination,

5. Install in the reverse order of removal. Make note ofthe following items.
. lf you're installing a new condenser, add refriger-ant oil (SANDEN, SP-10 or DENSO, ND-O|L 8)
\see page 22-22l.-
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-ting, and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oilbefo.e installing them.
NOTE; Be sure to use the right O-rings for HFC,134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.o Be careful not to damage the condenser finswhen installing the condenser assembly.. Charge the system (see page 22-46), and test itsperformance (see page 22-24i.

Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconneqted, otherwise you
will damage the alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery
ground cable loosely connecled or you will severely
damage the wiling,
Handling Connectois
. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors)
. All connectors have push-down release type locks.
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pulltype lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its mount bracket.

RETAINER
The backs of some connectors are packed with
grease. Add grease if necessary. lf the grease is con-
taminated, replace it.

Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions (cont'dl
Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is
securelv locked.
Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces
down.
After installing harness clips, make sure the harness
doesn't interfere with any moving pans.
Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and
other hot parts. from sharp edges of brackets and
holes, and from exDosed screws and bolts.

Handling Wires and Harnosscs
. Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with
their respective wire ties at the designated locations,
. Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.
Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at
an angle, then squeeze the expansion tabs to release the
clrp.

Testing and Repairs
o Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrspping the break
with electricaltaoe.
. After installing parts, make sure that no wires arepinched under them.. When using electrical test equipment, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
. lf possible, insert the probe of the tester from the
wire side (except waterproof connector).
. Seat grommets in their grooves properly.
. Use a probe with a tapered tip.
Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
identification and replacement of connector termi-
nats.
