SOURCE: air conditioner not cooling

Is 1 of the 2 AC (under the hood) lines cold? if so you may have a blend door problem, that door is in the dash air duct distribution system, it mixes are between the hot heater core and the cold AC evaporater core to give the set or desired air outlet temp, When you turn the defrost on does it blow hot/cold as the lever is moved back and forth? The compressor turning off and on is normal cycling of the system, when it reaches a preset pressure in the low side line, a pressure switch will open and compressor will "cycle off" when the press starts to rise to a preset limit the compressor will "cycle on" and so on. I assume you have an electric bled door, older cars and trucks use a cable operated mechanical door.

SOURCE: my 89 gmc 1500 will not turn over

Did you check your ground wire?If ground is good check to make sure your solenoid wire which is purple usually if it is broke if not get a test light and have someone turn motor over to crank position and check if power there if so more than likely ground problem.If solenoid has no power move to fuses under drivers dash..

SOURCE: Fuse is OK but air conditioner doesn't work '94 GMC Yukon.

yes alow presure switch is likely on GM and it could be out of freon ,safe way to tell is to put a set of gauges on it and it will tell by passing the low side switch will just destroy the compressor if it is out of freon

SOURCE: AC trouble

the best way is to take it into an ac shop without a manifold gauge set adding freon is just a guess you have a leak because freon never wears out it just leaks out. also the right way to do it would require having your system vacuumed out for at least 30 min. to get out all the moisture and air.

Wont turn over. Has power, everything comes on but when you turn ignition to start, it does nothing!

Check the fuses in the main fuse box under the hood. Look for a fuse marked starter or starter relay. The easiest way to get the a/c clutch to engage is to jump the connecter that goes to the low pressure switch, which is located close to the firewall on the larger diameter a/c line.

Wiring diagram for e350 ford van air conditioner

You seem mechanically inclined, so I want you to try this before you do anything else; let's decern whether or not the clutch is any good .

I want you to unplug the the plug that plugs into the compressor . Just in case there is a possible short somewhere, clip the wire's to the plug, but leave enough wire to reconnect them back . Attach two pieces of wire to the wire's on the plug that you just clipped, making them long enough to reach the battery . Plug the plug back into the compressor . After skinning the wire's on the other end, touch one to the positive (+) side of the battery, and the other to the negative (-) side of the battery . When you do this, you should hear a click from the clutch of the compressor, if you don't then the clutch is bad, if you do; then you are low on freon, your low pressor swith is bad, or you have wiring problem's .

My ac clutch will not engage

check your fuses & wiring also the wires on the A/C switch in the dash to make sure they are connected, the switch or the clutch itself may also be faulty; to check the clutch run a wire from the positive terminal of the battery to the clutch on the air conditioner compressor & see if you can hear it clicking in, make sure you connect it to the positive lead of the clutch,you don't need to have the motor running or the ignition switched on......hope this helps.....cheers

I have a 1997 chevy s-10 pickup. The air conditioner stopped working recently. No power to compressor. Checked fuses, relays, switches, tried to fill with r134a and it was full. Still no power to engage...

You can check fisicaly the wires to the compressor and make sure you don't have any interuption on it. Can you hot wire the compressor from the battery ? But before you do it check the panel AC switch.

Ac compressor not switching on 1986 Peugeot 505.GTI How can I test clutch wiring,. Have just aquired this car , heater blowers etc. working but ac clutch not cutting in, is there a switch I have not found....

The best thing to do first is to check the AC clutch itself if it's working, locate the air - con compressor and you will see a wire coming out from the front top of the AC-compressor, it has a connection, remove tht connection and take a piece of wire, connect it to the wire frm the AC-compressor and the other end of the wire to the battery positive terminal,by doing so you will hear a clicking sound of the clutch at the AC-compressor, better still is to start the car's engine, switch 'ON' the AC as normal, let the blower blow thn connect tht wire frm the AC-compressor to the positive side of the battery terminal and check it out if the AC-compressor rotates and also you may get in the car and see if its blowing cold air.
Please also check this -->
HEAT/COLD selector (on the dash) is not selected at HEAT...if it is thn the AC-compresor clutch will not kick in!
Hope this helps!

Air Conditioner

relays for air conditioners are normally close to the thermostat and tx valves
the problem amy not be with the fan but with the ac compressor not turning on from lack of gas
tell him to check for leaks or take it to an accredited ac shop and have the job done properly
