SOURCE: 99 Suburban A/C Not working

The A/C pressue switch may be bad as well. Also the mode switch on the control head inside the vehicle. There are many other exsisting problems pertaining to a/c. I suggest a manual from Auto Zone for many faults can be noted especially wiring can be at fault

SOURCE: 1991 Sierra GMC AC control problem

The follwing is a cut and paste from a service bulletin:

Bulletin No.: 461202

Date: May, 1994

SUBJECT:
A/C CONTROL HEAD FLASHES OR ERRATIC OPERATION OF A/C CONTROLS (POLISH
TERMINALS)

MODELS:
1988-94 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK C/K MODELS
1990-94 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK TOPKICK/KODIAK MODELS WITH C60 OR C69 AIR
CONDITIONING

CONDITION:

A/C Control Head flashes, performs erratically or malfunctions.

CAUSE:

Light surface corrosion on the Control Head terminals.

CORRECTION:

Remove the A/C Control Head and while holding the unit with the terminal
cavity down (toward the floor) so no particles will fall inside on the
circuit boards, polish the terminals on both sides of the cavity with a lead
pencil pink eraser. Do not use an ink eraser or other abrasive such as a
small wire brush or sandpaper, etc. Doing so will remove the terminal
coating and degrade the contact surface.

Performing this procedure, in many cases, will make replacing the Control
Head unnecessary. Using this procedure in conjunction with the A/C circuit
diagnosis found in the Electrical Diagnosis Manual and especially before
replacing a Control Head for any reason is recommended.

After polishing the Control Head terminals, but before reconnecting, check
for proper terminal contact as described in the applicable electrical
diagnosis manual. If contact is good, apply dielectric grease (P/N 12345579)
to the harness connector terminals. Please do not apply grease to the
Control Head.

SOURCE: 1992 gmc c1500 ac compressor relay location

I pulled this from another web site
"The AC clutch relay is located inside the cab on a metal bracket that is easiest to see when you remove the glove box compartment.

The relay is on a metal bracket bolted to the top of the plastic air box, forward and to the center of the dash from glove box.

There are three relays in a row on that bracket. The AC clutch relay is the end one closest to the driver’s side."

Testimonial: "Right on target... THANKS"

SOURCE: low oil pressure 93 GMC P/U w/350 motor w/205,000 miles gauge

While engine is running, open the cover where you add oil to engine and see if you see a good flow of oil, if good flow, could be as easy as replacing oil sending sensor. got to realize that if poor maintenance history your engine may not be building enough pressure at iddle to move your hydraulic operated valves, only when you rev it up it will pump enough to run smooth. if running engine too long, you may cause more damage to other engine components such as crankshaft and cam shaft bearings. if you can spare a few bucks, have a good mechanic check your oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. another cheap option is to replace oil pump. last resort if you love your truck as much as we do,replace engine or rebuild it. At 205,000 this is a normal symptom, other than timing chain problems, most engines don't make it that far. hope this helps!

Gauge readings on my AC look good or bad?

Did you vacuum all air out of the system before charging?
Do you have a fan in front of the vehicle blowing air through the condenser when filling?
Did you fill the system with real brand name refrigerant and not an aftermarket mixe of how knows what refrigerant?
Did you fill until ALL bubbles in you sight glass have gone?

Can youput to much freon in and what will it do

4 cans will be too much
it makes the compressor pump liquid instead of gas and that damages the compressor
it the compressor is still capable of pumping gas then it will go to high head pressures and that will switch the compressor off
you have wasted your money, run the risk of expensive compressor damage , didn't fix the leak that required the gas
The specialist ac shops are not there to take your money but to give you a system that runs without problems so use them to fix the faults and put the right amount of gas in using gauges not cans

1998 gmc truck ac problem I put 2 cans of freon ac pump wont turn on it a few miles then it turn on maybe 10 mminutes driving

if you had to put 2 cans of freon in the ac system then you have wasted your money and time as there is a big leak that the gas is escaping from
ac systems will last forever and require no additional gas if the system is intact but as soon as it needs gas , there is a leak that has to be fixed first
problem you have described is most probably too much gas to start with and the high pressure switch turns the compressor off
then when enough gas leaks out the compressor will run until the low pressure switch switches off as there is not enough gas in the system

I need a wiring diagram for my 250 airconditioner clutch ok gas ok low pressure okbut willnot engage fuses ok.

if your fuses are all ok then, it maybe the low pressure switch in your rec/dry'r tank saying there's not enough pressure in system to circulate (sorry some pressure doesn't count) , so hence it wont allow the compressor clutch to engage , these systems typically should have approx. greater than 20 psi in the rec/dryer tank (low pressure) and from 90 to 110 on the high side , also if one suspects the dash control being damaged , try it on defrost setting , as that makes compressor run as well

Ac compressor good but wont start

You must have a leak, the compressor will not run if the system is low on charge, the charge carries the oil to lube the parts of the system. Also do an electrical jumper of the compressor cycling/pressure sensing switch.

I just put in freon and now it wont give out cool air

Is the compressor engaging and did it engage before adding freon?
What is the pressure on the gauge for the low side? 25psi to 45 psi is normal when the engine is running and the compressor is turning.

If the compressor is not turning the pressure should read 75psi to 100psi, before the compressor starts turning.

Also, the radiator fan should go on when you engage the air conditioning by turning it up to max.

I am trying to put freon in my 2004 ford taurus where do i put it and how much?

They have a bunch of do it your self cans at walmart now days, $20 for a 20 oz bottle, with gauge and hose, you just snap the hose on the low side, it is the only place it fits, and squirt it in, works great, has oil and sealant in it. I just did mine first time I ever messed with freon 134 or whatever it is, I have AC!, never had it before in this truck, No compressor when I got it, got a compressor, threw it in there, blew it up , It works!!! For $20, I am tickled. Check it out, so easy a caveman can do it.

I want to recharge my air conditioning in a 1991 cadillac deville

Here's what you do.

Get an R134a recharge kit or R134a recharge hose (with an optional gauge) that has the adapters to put on to the low side port located near the firewall on the passenger side.

If the system is down already, the computer may have disabled the compressor.

To reenable the compressor, disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect.

Charge the system with about 2 or 3 11 oz. or so cans of R134a while the car is running and the temperature is set to the lowest (say 60 deg. F).

If your recharge hose has a gauge on it, the right pressure should be in the green area ranging from 25 psi to 45 psi on the low side when the compressor is running.

If i had a problem with the low pressure switch on my a/c then the compressor would kick off, correct? My compressor comes on and stays on. I put a gauge on there and it only reads 30psi after i put a...

be careful not to overcharge the system. when the low side reaches around 28-32 PSI the system is fully charged, yes the low pressure side cycling switch can stick, but in most cases it sticks open, but either way is poss.
