I have just had my complete A/C system replaced. It has never blown real cold, blows for a very short time, then reads A/C Compressor off, low refrigerrant. The place where the dusplay & buttons

I looked in the car manual & it clearly reads that if in econ mode, the A/C Compressor will be shut off. Looked up on computer that all codes must be reset& new codes entered when replacing A/C Compressor, also said could be switches on dash for choices.

There should be a switch inside the car to choose whether you want econ mode on or off, Econ mode helps to save fuel and power.

SOURCE: the information center reads

You'll need to have the A/C system serviced. It is low on freon so the compressor isn't coming on, and you won't have any A/C. Usually you'll just need some freon.

This usually means the ac refridgerant is low. In Econ mode the ac compressor will not turn on, your car is staying in Econ to avoid damage to the compressor. If you are low on refrigerant it means you have a leak. Don't just buy a can and refil, have a professional shop check for leaks and fill the system with the proper oil and add refrigerant to the proper pressure.

SOURCE: my ac was blowing fine

If the car was retro fitted with R134a this was a common problem. There was a low side pressure sensor that needs to be changed. R134a runs different pressures than the r12.. When you go down the road the condenser cools off the system and the pressure drops below the minimum pressure. You need to make sure that the system is fully charged, not just cold to the feel. Both pipes coming out of the firewall need to be the same temp. this makes sure that the evaporator is flooded.
I hope this helped. Re-post if you need more info. Have a nice day and good luck.

My air in my chevy cobalt is not blowing cold I just replaced the blow and resister and everything was working fine the air was blowing cold now it's not blowing cold at all what could be the issue?

Hi. More than likely your HVAC system has a failure within the A/C system. You should start by checking for blown fuses. Familiarize yourself with where the A/C compressor is located before starting the engine. Ask a friend to hop in and start the engine.Have the helper turn the A/C selector switch from on to off when you ask. With Safety Glasses on, carefully look and see if the A/C clutch is activating. If it doesn't you may need a new clutch or compressor. If it does turn on but for a short time. You may need a recharge. Hope this helps.

If my freezon would be low then why is it very cold air when I'm going on the road

because the temp difference between the hi and low side will be greater faster than a normally charged system the reason it cycles off is the keep the evap. from freezing up, but running to low on Freon can cause poor lubrication in the compressor causing damage to the compressor, yes it will blow very cold for a short period of time with a low charge

01 Sebring convertible, AC was low on refrigerant, and would stop blowing cold air and start blowing warm air. I added refrigerant, and it worked perfectly for about 20 days. Now it blows cold, then it...

First of all if your system was low on refrigerant there is a leak.You can recharge and exspect the air to work,how long it will last depends on the size of the leak.Somtimes the refrigerant can have a leak prevenative but this is for very small leaks.You need to have dye put in to system and use black light to find leak.they make kits at your local auto parts store that you can buy and do this your self.If you say it worked well for about 20 days, that is a fairly large leak.The reason why the compressor is acting so erractic is because the freon has oil in it and lubracates the bearings in compressor.When the system goes low the compressor will turn on and off to protect itself.Eventually it will stop running completly.Idont think you have an electrical problem,Ithink you have a big leak.Try what I said and good luck....Brian

Compressor does not engage when ac is turned on, is it definitely the compressor?

It could be low in freon and won't allow the compressor to engage. Have you checked to see if your fuse is blown? It should be in the fuse panel of the car. Was the air acting up prior to not working anymore? like not blowing real cold air or anything?

My 2006 Colorado A/C runs , starts to blow cold then blows hot , then starts to blow cold then hot..........., finally after the engine gets real warm it just stays hot . I checke the freon level and it is...

Same problem on 2005 Colorado at work. A little research finds that this is a 'gas saving' system. It is designed to cycle often, resulting in less UP time on the compressor, which saves fuel.
HORRIBLE system!
We are going to refill the freon to exact specs and see how the gauges read.
Currently, when compressor is running, a nice cool temp is achieved. But while the compressor is off, the air gets a bit warm. it's 112 out today and this is unsatisfactory.
I found a forum which describes installing a resistor at a certain wire connection in the a/c module. This causes the clutch to engage for longer periods of time. apparently the only real fix at the moment.
I don't have that forum link with me.... so do a bit more research to find it.
