When I turn the AC on it only comes out as warm air. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

is the compressor kicking on when you select max ac?

how would i know?

 

[workinprogress]

open your hodd, start your car...turn your ac to off...go look at your ac compressor, the very front part should NOT be spinning, then go turn the ac on, you should hear a click, go look at the compressor again and it SHOULD now be spinning, start there.

If it is kicking on you may be low on 143. $20 bux will get you a can of it and a gauge, at least thats what I got mine for. Thatd be the next thing to try. They make a colored refrigerant that will show if you have leaks, you might wana get a can of that too. Just read the directions and make sure you put the refrigerant in the right port...low presure i believe.

im gettin there lol its taking a while to get a response here, if its kicking in, he obviously has a leak of 134A, i would reccomend a shop do it...in order to do refrigerant correctly the system must be pulled to a vaccum first to leviate all the air that has leaked in replacing the refrigerant that has leaked out.

 

[97gtstang]

my bad, guess I jumped the gun. Does it have to be hooked up to the vaccum if there is no leak? My old truck and stang just had no refrigerent in them...I had suffered through 3 Texas summers before i decided to try to add some. You could freeze your self out in 110 degree weather after it was charged.

OH...and 134, thats it...knew something wasnt right. Its late

+1 lol but your ac system also affects the way your front defroster works... and if there is no leak then it is still under vaccum, but logically if there was refrigerant in there and now there isnt, there is a leak

ps timberwolf, nice cadilac reference in your signature.

[2000mgt]

very true

 

[hardhitter]

no the compressor is not spinning

 

[hardhitter]

does it need replacing?

 

[sstang]

if the compressor isnt spinning then yeah it needs replacing...not sure if you can replace the clutch on them or not?

 

[hardhitter]

Could it be the relay or something?
