A/C Stopped Working
Well it's 100+F here and today my A/C worked on the way to work, then I tried leaving work and it failed to come on. I am thinking it's something electrical... The relay and fuse look good but is there a sequence of tests I can do?
Something has broken on my car everyday this week... When does it end |

The big silver combo relay clicks when the button is pressed... What is te clear one for (G17)... It is not clicking when I push the A/C button, but I don't actually know what that relay does.

Take a look at the compressor, if it is soaked with oil, the front seal blew. One way to test for low or no charge is to jump the pressure switch on the drier. It's behind the driver side head light, a paper clip will suffice.

Well, It worked like 6 hours before that. I am thinking it's electrical because I can't see or hear the A/C clutch engaging. What is relay G17 (air conditioning)?

Ah, well I did a few searches on the A/C relay. You are right, I will jump the low pressure switch when I get home and see if I can get the compressor going. Then I will check for major leaks, because I know I have a small one. I will top it off and hopefully last me until the winter...
Can anyone describe what the low pressure switch looks like and what I should jump? I love diagnosing stuff! -Johnny |
