So I have a 2007 dodge nitro my ac compressor stopped working, and I had it replaced and recharged after that I got a call from the guy that did the work when he was finished and he told me that the compressor was not getting any power and will not turn on and that it was probably my ECU/ECM (the computer) it brought up some code and they told me it probably needed replaced they have seen this happen alot with the nitros, so I had it replaced today and the compressor still doesn't turn on unless my husband takes the negative from the battery and puts it to the light blue/orange wire on the ECU then it will stay on, he now has a wire from my battery to those wires and it always has to stay running. On top of that issue my ac does not blow cold air, its some what cold but not cold enough to keep the inside of the car cool or anyone in the back seat for that, it is fully charged we had it checked and has no leaks the ac lines when I touch them are super cold also. really need some advise! Thank You

    The sensor is always connected near the bumper on the compressor side and wires should be loose as when bumper is damaged sensor rips apart and falls.

If your AC blows hot air and if you ever had a front bumper accident minor damage, you might have pulled the sensor right off it has 2 wires lose on the side of the compressor I don't know what the sensor is called yet, but Ac techs won't tell you it's suppose to be a secret..not anymore

The lite blue orange wire grounds the ac clutch relay. The engine computer is supposed to do this IF conditions are right for the ac to function. There could be a problem with one of the freon pressure sensors or the AC control module. If you are not getting a normal level of cold air from the vents, and the mechanical system is functioning correctly, the problem may be the ac control module. There may be blend doors that are not open or closed as they should be.
This is normally beyond most DIY people, so info is not available in over the counter repair books. A shop that knows how to work on electronic ac systems and a shop manual may be needed.

SOURCE: 2007 Dodge Nitro Tail Light Replacement

look at the car manual under maintenance and then rear light bulb replacement. First take out the two hole covers using a flat head to loosen then wiggle and turn by hand to get out. Pull the light unit straight back, and unplug the electrical. Don't break anything.
Then use a star driver (check your misc socket set drivers for the right size). Unscrew the two star head screws and pull this bulb holder straight off the tail light (same direction as screws). Replace the bulb and put back together in reverse.

SOURCE: 2007 dodge nitro not blowing cold air

The AC compressor may need recharged, or repaired / replaced. A lot of times what happens is through the winter AC units aren't ran so the seals recieve no oil and dry out letting coolant escape. Sometimes you can get lucky and a recharge (which contains oil essential for your seals) will do it - if they are too dry however, you will need a new compressor. You can have your AC unit recharged at nearly any dealership except in the state of California. Hope this helps.
