2002 Honda Odyssey fan only works at high speed. The A/C compress

The AC fan only comes on when the Temp. Control Dial is set to it's lowest set point at 60 degrees, and the Fan control dial will only work at it's highest speed. The air that does come out at these highest fan speeds is not cold. Is there a resistor that controls the fan speed switches, or maybe a relay?

Usually when the blower fan only operates on hi speed, its because of a failed blower motor resistor. You still have hi speed because on hi, the power going to the blower motor goes directly to it, as opposed to the lower speeds, when the power is routed through the resistor, thus lowering the voltage, which in turn lowers the speed of the fan. The resistor is usually located near the blower motor itself, under the hood back near the firewall.

Look for a auto mode then turn it off.

    auto mode is like your home a/c system's thermostat look in vehicle manual on how to activate/deactivate auto mode in a/c system.

Have a 2009 Nissan Quest I can't turn the heat off. Just stays on a high level of blowing out heat .

If you have a fan that has different speed settings (1234, or low med high etc) and the only one that works is high - then the blower resistor pack has failed. If you have a climate control unit (where you just pick a temp you want) then the fan is controlled by the heating system and it sets fan speed. If you have climate control style try lowering the temp to a lower setting (current temp in vehicle) and see if fan slows down. If not then climate control unit or fan resistor bad. If dial type and you get nothing on lower settings (only high works like mentioned above) you need to change blower resistor. It is located under dash near the fan itself. Look for small unit bolted in duct near fan with wire plug going to it.

My mother in laws 2002 century blower only works on high..

It is not the blower motor.
On the 2002 model, I am showing an HVAC control module and a blower control processor. The control module handles the temp control and blower speed, and the processor contains the resistor for slower blower speeds.
Which component did you replace ?

2008 Honda Odyssey AC fan works on low and med speeds but no high speed blower

There should be a high speed blower relay that bypasses the resistor for slower speeds.
Check with an auto parts store or the dealer.

Fan doesn't come on in the variable setting. only when turned to the max. On max there is no cold air

Check the blower motor resistor pack is not faulty.
The resistor pack (for speed control) is usually located in the blower fan ducting in the air flow .

2002 Honda Odyssey fan only works at high speed. The A/C compressor also does not come on

If the fan only works on high speed I'd suspect a bad resistor in the fan circuit. On a new car it may be called by a different name but in essence does the same thing. It steps voltage down to the fan motor in all speeds but high. I'd check that first assuming there is no obstruction interfering with fan operation in all speeds but high overcomes that obstuction. I've seen mice among other things in a fan box on many occasions. I think the A/C problem is unrelated to your fan problem. This one may be a little harder to solve. The first thing to check is Freon level. The compressor won't cycle if the freon is low to avoid damage to the compressor. Do the fans, both under the hood come on when you turn on the A/C? If so it is more than likely just a Freon issue. If not take it to your local Honda Dealer.

Where is the low pressure switch for my Honda Odyssey 2003 AC ?

The A/C pressure switch is located in the high pressure line (the skinny one) on the passenger side of the engine compartment just under the fuse/relay box. The switch has three functions: <28 psi, the switch opens to protect the compressor from lack of lubrication. >220 psi, the switch shifts the radiator and compressor fan to high speed. >455 psi, the switch opens to protect the compressor seals. Check to see if you have any powertrain DTC's first. A faulty engine coolant temp sensor can cause problems with the compressor clutch relay. If the radiator and compressor fan come on with the A/C on but the compressor clutch does not operate, check the compressor clutch relay. You can also obtain Heater control panel diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) by turning the ignition switch on. Then turn fan switch off. Press recirc button to select recirc air. Press and hold recirc to turn off recirc air but this time continue to hold the button down until recirc light comes on for two seconds and then goes off. If there is any trouble, the recirc light will then blink a code (if no trouble, the light will remain off) 1 blink = problem in air mix control motor circuit. 2 blinks = a problem in mode control motor circuit. 3 blinks = a problem in evaporator temperature sensor circuit. (this one could be a factor in your case) Turn the ignition switch off to end the test.
