So my A/C went out about a month ago finally got to figure out why. I needed to replace my fan controller and fan relay. the a/c worked for about a day, and now my fans wont kick on again.

Ive tried those recharge kits but they work for an hour after i use a can. the next day i check my psi and it shows up as red!

wtf anyone have any ideas? im going to the shop in the morning.

 

so are you saying the fans only work when u put in a can? and the nexted day they wont? i dont understand what your saying

 

it seems obvious your system leaks somewhere.

 

yea just take it to an auto ac place and tell them to check it for leaks

 

ok so i went to the shop today and my ac worked and was cold as hell which is great but it leaves me lost. the guy at the shop told me that because its so hot outside and my ac is on full blast that my compressor either get too cold or too hot. i dont know the guy said he had no clue since it was working he told me that when it happens again to bring it down, so i guess its a waiting game.

 

Did you re-fill your system just before you got there?

 

nope, and now it doesnt work ahhhh i just got back from dropping it off

 

Frozen compressor? How hot is it? How high is the A/C on?

 

if its in the red that means it has too much right? at least thats what my gauges say. if you have too much, the pressure switches will turn the compressor and everything off. first check for leaks and get it professionaly recharged unless you have the vaccume pump and proper tools to inject oil and everything

 

Then the ac line would have acceptable pressure when cold, and the pressure would rise as the lines get hotter and in turn shut the system off. That makes alot of sense.

 

Let me ask you, did you recharge the system while the car was running with the system blowing full blast? I'm sure with that guage on there you only filled it until it was in the green, right?

 

well my gauge reads like this;
Green = Low
Blue = Correct Amount
Yellow = Too Much
Red = Mechanical Error

when my fans do decide to kick on its in green which is a low 25psi. when my fans are off it reads red at 65psi. And yes my car is running with a/c on full blast.

does the a/c system have a fuse or something? but i did take it to a shop to have it looked at.

 

so is that possible then? my a/c is on full blast. well the engine bay gets pretty damn hot but my car doesn't over heat. also when everything gets really hot thats when it seems to not work.

 

just got back, they told me i had moisture in my system and that was causing my fans to cut off and bubbles or some crap well they did their thing with an evac an recharge and other stuff cant remember now it works but we'll see how long this last.

since they didnt fix it last time it was free
