Thread: question on the air con compressor

Hello Matthew

Now as much as you hate hearing that you gonna have to spend some more hard won cash on this ride ....

Unfortunately, i'm not gonna be describing something that can be fixed for free





Your A/C has no gas





The system has a gas pressure switch and when the pressure is low ... it shuts the compressor off, so as to save it from damage, ect






6 outa 10 ... I'ld say that the compressor seal is failing from being idle when you did not use it during the winter ... and the gas has escaped ....

The proper fix is to get the seals replaced
The most popular fix is to regass it (and add some fluorescent dye) and see how it goes

3 outa 10 are for leaky hoses
1 outa 10 for O ring seals



You can test to see if the compressor is working OK by bridging a wire from the positive side of the battery to the compressor clutch ... Look for the single red wire on the side of the compressor to hook into





Cheers
Mike

My air con is on all year round. In the winter it keeps the windscreen clear. In the summer it keeps my eyes clear, no sweat.

ah that explains it then i thought it was caput its cool 95 bucks to regas, a bit more for rings and i will cry if the s bend hose has to be changed lol

i will look closer this sarvo for red wire, in the plug from the top i just seen black and white,


cheers fellas thought id ask no biggy

.... I was working the Red wire (+ power) from memory

The black and white wire combo is most probably + & -

Don't quote me .. & don't touch it in case I'm wrong ... Let the A/C repairer sort it out
