Less than a year ago I replaced the AC compressor, relay, and fuses that deal with the AC compressor. Recently checked all fuses and replaced the relay for 10$ just for ***** and giggles..
Problem is the AC won’t blow cold, and the clutch will not engage. I’ve tested the wiring to the compressor with a test light and I do have power. Wiring is not frayed or damaged. Really not leaning towards an electrical issue. It’s winter season here so I have not used the AC since September-October and I did not know how low the Freon was prior to the winter. It’s not december 14th and here’s more clues.. ac system will not take Freon, and has a very low amount of pressure in the system. I’ve read about low pressure lockouts but I can’t seem to find a “low pressure switch” to replace to maybe fix the problem. Anyone know where it’s located? Usually by the classic canister looking condenser but this model has a radiator style condenser so it’s kind of confusing.
I’ve tried to bang the compressor with a hammer to get it to engage, hand spun the clutch, smells burnt, there IS power going to the compressor, but no luck. Even tried to jump start the clutch but no luck either.
not sure if the low pressure switch can cause the compressor to not work, or if I’m thinking too deeply and my compressor shit the bed. Any help is useful , thanks!
