AC Problem

**Whitehispanic** · 07-14-2011

Well its something that is making me ask what is going on. Today i noticed that my AC is not working, so went to a local car parts store and but a refill bottle with all I need to get it full when i placed the hose which by the way has a meter attached it said that the car doesnt require to be recharded. My question now is what is going is it my compressor, or is it something else ??

If you are looking at it from the front its at about the 1 o'clock position on the compressor. Or you can watch the compressor itself on the front. When its engaged, you will see the entire front turning, when its not just the outer ring the belt is on will turn.

I see a wire going into the compressor but i was not able to check it to much because my engine was mad hot but tomorrow i will not be touching my car so i will be checking that out.

Already check that freon is full or right were it is suppose to be.

The A/C may not be as bad off as you think. Here's a dumb question, have you checked all the fuses related to the A/C? Switched relays w/ a known good one? Might just be that simple.
