The compressor burned up in our 2005 Odyssey. We had it and it's supporting equipment replaced by a repair shop we trust. AC is inadequate on a hot,sunny day. It will freeze you out at night.

Take it back, it may be under charged.

    We did that. And, I checked it myself. Somewhere I read that when the compressor goes bad, it can cause another electrical component to go bad. Can't find that link anymore.

    No if it runs at all the circuit is fine, and that is a fantasy about the other component. Check at what pressure the AC compressor kick off at, it should be 28-32 PSI

    OK. I will check it again. Maybe need to vacuum and recharge.

SOURCE: 2005 Ford Freestyle compressor went bad, same mileage

Get an estimate from a Ford dealer. Your problem may not take all the parts that Goodyear wants to put in. The dealer has recall info and may work with you to keep a Ford customer. You say your compressor went bad, but that may be the result of a problem and not the cause.
You can also try independent shops rather than franchises. But you may not know of any. Sometimes I ask at Police stations if I need help for reliable service places.

SOURCE: 2005 stratus w/burning smell, ac cycling fast and blowing hot air

Sounds like your ac system in low. To get the compressor to engage you must find ac resistor (usually under hood with fuses) and cross connect circuits. Most time right to left corners, you can hear and see compressor clutch engage. Now, fill system with proper refrigerant.
Once charged, compressor will=should cut on and off properly.

The first thing to check is the pressures in the ac system. If it is too low on R134 the low pressure switch will prevent the compressor from turning on.

The center dashboard panel, which holds the climate control system, etc., must be gently pried up. Start at the bottom and work your way around. Once this is loose, disconnect the electrical connectors and the panel can be removed completely. The light bulbs are marked Gray and Black and are freed by a turning slightly. I think the only place you can get the bulbs is a Honda dealer.

SOURCE: 2008 Honda Civic dx rebuilt AC compressor always on regardless of controls

OOPS ! Now, it sounds like the A/C relay is constantly on. In the power distribution box by the battery, try swapping another relay for the A/C relay (which turns the compressor on), and see if it now stops. If so, buy a new relay. Good luck.

2003 ac system on an impala wont work. Does not get cold. I can hear the compressor turning on and off. i can change the temp for hot to cold but the cold temp does not get cold.

You need to check the system pressures. If you don't have the specialized equipment like a manifold gauge set and the specs, I would take it to a repair shop that you trust, that does A/C work. It sounds like the system is low on refrigerant, but I wouldn't add any until I knew it was, and the best way is by using the gauge set I refered to.

2005 ford explorer ac compressor not turning on

The most common cause is a lack of refrigerant. Most systems require a minimum of 2lbs of refrigerant to make the compressor engage. This is a precaution to prevent burning out your compressor. There are leak detection/refill kits available at most auto parts stores. There are also many service stations that are certified in automobile AC systems. Keep in mind, by law, service stations are required to search for and repair leaks prior to recharging your system.

I have a 2002 honda odyssey that the ac is not working. It blows hot air instead of cold.

Hello,

There are 4 main issues to the AC on a car (not including wiring or more advanced troubleshooting)

1 Recharge (Cheap do it your self Recharge kit from auto shop)

2 The belt that it drives it (Least expensive Replace Belt)

3 The clutch on the compressor (Expensive because you have to puge the system R/R the compressor check the evaporator for damge repressurize system and test.

4 The compressor went bad (Most expensive Usually when a compressor fails it will send metal shavings throughout the system that will cause the system to fail again the soulation is the same as 3 but now you need to replace the evaporator and flush all the AC lines out.

My AC just went out on my 2005 odyssey. I have verified all the fuses and checked for voltage at all connectors.. Appears my compressor is not getting power. Do you have any suggestions..

Check freon pressure/level. If it's low there is a safety feature that won't allow compressor to activate unless there is sufficient freon.

Ac only cools when accelerator is pressed. when sitting in idle traffic, only blows warm air. had ac recharged, doesn't help.

I have same issue. I took to Chevy dealer they could not find problem (whats new) then I took to trusted mechanic.
They measured voltage at compressor and found out when idle the voltage dips below manufacturer specs, then when RPMS go up it gets more juice so the compressor then starts to work properly.
Chevy claims its made that way to extend compressor life.

An AC shop says I have a bad compressor clutch and that I need to replace the entire compressor. I don't have the money to pay such a high bill. I asked about just replacing the clutch and they don't...

Even with the proper clutch removal tools it is very possible to either hurt the shaft it is pressed onto &/or the seal behind it that keeps in oil & refrigerant.

How do i recharge my a.c. My air conditioner blows out warm air. why and how do i fix it?

if the system is low on charge u must repair the leak before you waste the $25 on refridgerant, most likely the AC compressor is leaking and will need to be replaced, charging the AC after replaceing a compressor requires special equipment, so find a good shop.
