My MSD2756 side by side needs a new compressor and

My MSD2756 side by side needs a new compressor, or possibly a fuse and needs a 134A recharge. It does not cool at all. I need to know where the service ports are for recharging. I have the tools necessary and know how to charge but I can't seem to find any online repair manuals. If you have a suggestion as to where I can find a repair manual, I'd be grateful.

You have to add the ports yourself. You should be able to see a short copper tube sticking out of the compressor. Thats where they add the port.
If the compressor isn't running I would check the starter/overload relay first.

2003 ford focus no cool air is blowing out. Could it be the evaporation cord?

Make sure your blower fan is turned on and is blowing air. When you push your a/c button the yellow light should come on. If it is not blowing cool, it could be several things. Low on 134a or the control that has the a/c button on it could be bad or blown fuse, bad compressor, etc. If the air is cool but not cold the 134A is low. If it is still blowing hot, check and make sure that the clutch on the compressor is locked in. It most likely is not. Check ac fuses and ac relay, if they are good, check the 134a ,if low, refill it. This should fix it. Remember that if the a/c clutch is not locking in, you cannot add 134a because of no circulation.On some vehicles, if it is completely out of 134a, the relay will not trip and you will have to bypass the relay to provide power to the compressor to fill it. If you do all of these and it still does not work, you will need to take it to a professional. If you need to, reply back and I will give you more possibilities.(I think that you mean evaporator coil)

Ford focus se how to repair

invest in a can with a gague of 134A at auto zone it will have the filler hose on it. Attach it to your low pressure side line .it will only fit on the low pressure side. (if you cant find low pressure line on car google (where is low pressure line for AC Ford focus) check your gauge if low on R134A add some from can .If all is ok check ac fuse. if nothing works after makeing sure system is full of 134A check if your compressor is working. usually it just needs to be recharged.

I have a Fredders A3X05F2A-J model and was wondering how to recharge the unit, if possible? If so where could i pick up a recharge kit?

I don't beleive there is a DIY kit for recharging window air conditioners. At least not one, that would be reasonably affordable (less than $100.00) . Now, if you have a friend who's in the auto repair business and as part of his work, he recharges automobile AC compressors, he may can help you. As he would have the knowledge to balance the high and low sides of the compressor. As well as evacuate and capture any freon that's left in the system. As freon has be banded by the EPA. R134a is now the refrigerant used in AC compressors. By now, I guess you figured out, that recharging the system is not necessarily a DIY project. It's best left to the pros.

Hope this was of hep to you and thanks for choosing fixture.

Replaced the compressor in my 1999 Dodge Caravan. The pulley failed on the old one so I bought a new compressor with clutch. I recovered the R-134a and replaced the compressor. I recovered 1 oz of old from...

the new compressor was likely shipped pre oiled. it should have had a tag on it saying if it was oiled or not, and how much. if you added more oil, the system has probably been over oiled and hydro locked. recover the refrigerant again, if you are working with an actual automotive a c machine you should be able to draw that extra oz of PAG oil out, then recharge refrigerant. hopefully that will do it! otherwise, you could have a restriction in your system, possible from debris in one of the compressors, in which case you will need to flush the lines out. good luck!

Air conditioning is not cold

Probably the refrigerant fluid pressure is too low. You can get an inexpensive (about $20) R-134a recharge kit with pressure gauge from a discount store (Wal-mart) or auto parts store. Follow the instructions. It's worthwhile to try recharging to see if the a/c system will hold a charge, before you spend more money on expensive diagnostics and repairs. Also, you should try to determine whether the A/C compressor is coming on. If it is working you should be able to hear it engaging. Many A/C compressors are designed to not engage if the fluid pressure is too low, so make sure that the pressure on your recharge gauge is at the recommended level. Possibly the compressor fuse may have blown out, so check the compressor fuse in the fusebox under the hood. If the fuse is ok, and the compressor does not come one even after you have recharged the system, this tells you there might be a problem with the compressor. Another possibility is that the A/C switch has gone bad. You will need to access it with a voltmeter to test it. What you hear behind the glove box is the evaporator. Some low-level noise is normal.

Air conditioner blower stopped working on 2004

If the blower works but its just not blowing cold air, its possible to recharge the AC system yourself. Most auto parts stores carry AC recharge kits. Instructions to recharge the AC are belowl

RECHARGING AC SYSTEM

1.Turn the truck on and turn AC on HIGH
2.Locate the low side AC line (will have a valve and cap similar to the cap on a tire)
3.Insert the oil or R-134A can to the hose (Do not turn the screw to puncture the can yet)
4.Insert the other end of the refill hose to the low side valve
5.Puncture the R-134A can with the screw on the refill hose
6.You should feel the system suction the refrigerant out of the can
7.Check for frost on the AC lines and the air blowing inside the truck
8.If frost develops and the air is cold, you've successfully recharged the system and disconnect the refill hose. DO NOT ADD MORE REFRIGERANT...overcharging the system will damage your compressor and will be less effective


Best of luck and enjoy your vacation.

Hopefully this answers your question and you're able to get your AC working again. Best of luck.

I need to retrofit and recharge my 1988 Dodge Ram Ac.

First, the old R-12 must be completely evacuated fromt the system. R-12 and R-134A do not mix and won't function together. Once you are sure there's no R-12 left in the system, you need to install an R-134A fill valve on the low side AC line. This is where your refill hose will connect to add R-134A. Once the valve is in place you're ready to fill the system. The compressor requires a minimum of 20psi to engage and should not be filled to more than 45psi.

RECHARGING AC SYSTEM

1.Turn the truck on and turn AC on HIGH
2.Locate the low side AC line (will have a valve and cap similar to the cap on a tire)
3.Insert the oil or R-134A can to the hose (Do not turn the screw to puncture the can yet)
4.Insert the other end of the refill hose to the low side valve
5.Puncture the R-134A can with the screw on the refill hose
6.You should feel the system suction the refrigerant out of the can
7.Check for frost on the AC lines and the air blowing inside the truck
8.If frost develops and the air is cold, you've successfully recharged the system and disconnect the refill hose. DO NOT ADD MORE REFRIGERANT...overcharging the system will damage your compressor and will be less effective
Hopefully this answers your question and you're able to get your AC working again. Best of luck.
