I have a 93 Sable 3.8 that I bought in February. The guy I bought it from says that he had recently had the A/C converted to R134a and that it was working good.
The other day here in Michigan we finally had some nice warm (80f) weather. So I thought it would be a good time to try out the A/C. Blows nothing but warm air
Did some checking and I see that the A/C compressor isn't engaging.
I would appreciate any ideas of what might be wrong, thanks in advance!
Hey sablerider thanks for the info, I live in Bay City, so I'm rather far away from ya. But maybe you can give me some info, I've read on other posts on here about jumping the posts on the low pressure switch to see if the compressor comes on, if you can tell me where this switch is I could check and see if the compressor runs or not and then go from there. Thanks again!
AAsable good luck with your A/C, I'll let ya know if I figure out anything
Hey sablerider thanks for the info. Today I jumped the contacts on the low pressure switch. The compressor kicked on ok. But the strange part is that after I
hooked the low pressure switch back up I tried the A/C again and now the compressor cycles on and off real fast, on for a second then off for about 5 seconds, still blows warm air. I'm hoping that it's just a slow leak and I can get by with just recharging. I appreciate any info anybody might have on this, thanks!!!
there is a leak sealer that is sold but it often does not work and sometimes causes more problems.
to see where a leak may have occurred follow your lines and see if there is any oily substance near connections on the lines and check all switches amd fittings.
you are going to need to have a vacuum pulled on the system and see if the system is capable of holding a charge if it does then you should be good to go.
