I'm having a problem somewhere in my A/C system. It's not the A/C I care about, it's the fans. When I turn the A/C on, it shoots air but it's warm/hot. The only thing is, it sounds like my compressor isn't coming on because there isn't a noticeable change in idle when I turn on the A/C. Not to mention my car gets VERY hot compared to what it did when the fans were coming on.



Is there possibly a relay or something that isn't working? Any help would be appreciated.

theres a switch that doesnt turn the compressor on if it runs low on refrigerant.

 

So you think I should recharge my freon?

 

if its low, check it for leaks

 

can I move this?

 

say more about this.



I had a small leak in the low pressure fill needle.changed . Recharged. Air and comp would work for a while then just stop.No reason that I know. i just changed the relay( in the straight fuse box under the hood its a 207 fuse) (in case someone ask) nothing. It seems to work for 5 minutes and acts like as soon as the system has cycled a couple times or pressures up or heats up ...whatever, it then stop working I get hot air. anyone know where the thermostat is for the A/C? This is pissing me off in hot humid Louisiana !

 

Mine WAS doing that. My A/C would finally click on after a little while of toggeling the switch, and 5 minutes later it would go off again. Now I can't even get the A/C to come on period, and my car is getting much warmer than it should be... Glad I have 3mm apex seals.

 

Mine stopped doin' all that - I'm just hot.



l8tapex wants to know if there's a common leakage or failure point to lose the freon. He was told it might possibly be the expansion valve.

 

yeah mine stopped blowing cold air whe ni put in my pfc

 

Update....well a simple look in the site glass told me I'm low again.

I've filled it several times. My A/C buddy has a $400 sniffer that I will try see wear I have a leak in the system. I am afraid the heater core and expansion valve is our weak point. If so I was told you cant just buy those components . I don't believe that but I sure ain't buying a used one. When I find something out I will post it.



Apparently there is a lot of us with the same problem.
