Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

I am looking for a wiring diagram for a 1996 Honda Accord DX. I have a
12 volt short to ground at fuse 9 that goes to the condenser fan. My
Hane's manual does not show the wiring diagram for this circuit.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

You need a factory schematic manual. I happen to have one for the 96 Accord
but I have no way of scanning it or really relaying the information to you.

I am sure somebody in here can scan a few pages for you.

I would look at the fues rating to see if it is indeed the correct fuse,
not that it would matter if indeed you have a short to ground. I am also
curios how you determined you have a short to ground as opposed to a just a
high amp load?

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

The problem started with the battery going dead. Put on new battery
and the battery drained overnight. Found that something was drawing a
lot of current with everything turned off using a test light. Checked
between the pos and neg cables and was reading 0 ohms pulled the #9
15 amp fuse and the short went away. Left battery cables on with #9
fuse out overnight and the battery stayed charged overnight. Just need
to know what this fuse feeds so I can trace down where the problem is.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

well in my factory electrical 1996 accord manual the number 9 fuse is under
the dash/ as opposed to under the hood and it is listed as 7.5 amp fuse it
is called the starter signal fuse which protects the "guage assembly, pgm-fi
main relay, powertrain or engine control module (pcm or ECM)"

Try your local library or short the fuse and watch for smoke. Did you unplug
the fan to see if it is shorted?

I have some pdf's that might be of interest to you. I'll e-mail you at
dispman2000@yahoo.com with a link to these.

In the diagram I found, fuse #9 does not feed the condenser fan but it
does feed the compressor clutch.

In the Helm manual, the A/C wiring diagram is in the heater / A/C
section, not in the electrical section, perhaps the Haynes manual is
organized the same way?

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

Yp already tried that. That is why I was looking for a wiring diagram
to see where all this fuse went to. I was looking for answers not a

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

I had mentioned what things were on this circuit a few posts ago. I also
mentioned that my book shows fuse number 9 as a 7.5 amp fuse. That circuit
is also only listed as being "hot" in the start position of the key. It
powers your guage assembly, clutch interlock switch if manual trans, PGM-FI
main relay and powertrain control module....all in the start position

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

Don't know what is correct. In my owners manual this fuse is listed as
fuse #9 15 amps under the hood.. The cover for the fuse box list it as
the compressor fan 15 amp. One has to be wrong maybe i will figure
this out. Hate to go to the dealer. I went there last Summer and they
wanted to do $1000 worth of work. Took it to an independent who used
to work there and he did all the work for around $350. I am not sure
if he does electrical work but I do know he is honest and does good
work.

"That circuit is also only listed as being "hot" in the start position

I think you mean ignition on position ?

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

Just quoting the book verbatim...it states fuse 9 is "hot in start" So
that would indicate that while the engine is turning over power is supplied
to the circuit...

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

Just quoting the book verbatim...it states fuse 9 is "hot in start" So
that would indicate that while the engine is turning over power is supplied
to the circuit...

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

let us clarify that this is a 96 accord...DX or LX or EX doesn't matter as
they all use the same manual.

Re: Condenser Fan Circuit Shorted To Ground
 

Okay, just wondering because you said that the gauge assembly was on
that circuit, and I was wondering where the gauge assembly would get its
feed from if it wasn't from the ignition on position. Must be different
from my Civic.

Obviously the guage assembly gets it's power from some other source during
normal operation.

The power going to the guage assembly is actually for the break light bulb
check circuit. Accords have the brake light out indicator. The power from
fuse 9, during the start mode, powers this circuit and checks for burnt out
bulbs.
