Any mechanics here?

I have a question for any mechanics about a Jeep Wrangler a/c.
Thank you-Silent

Dunno about that model's A/C, but I've replaced just about everything on my Chevy A/C unit. What's wrong?

 

[silent says]

The compressor is not kicking on.I have power at the switches in the dash,all the fuses are good but I dont have power at the compressor.It loses power in between somewhere(maybe a inline fuse?) The repair shop said the condensor is fully charged.

Check the relay in the relay panel under the hood.

Mine was just doing the same shit last weak and it was the relay 10.00$

 

[silent says]

I had already tried that,there was a relay beside the a/c one and I swapped them out but didnt fix it.Appreciate it all.

If you have the correct 134-a charge, thermostat is good, no leaks in the hose assembly, and fuses are good, there's a 98% chance your compressor is done. I had to replace mine last summer. Found a refurb'd for around $70.

he said he's getting no juice at the compressor...so i'm guessing that he tested the electrical supply and the there wasn't any...no juice...magnetic clutch inside the compressor doesn't engage...no a/c.

can you turn on the a/c and the defrosters at the same time? try that and see what happens. even when you're not using the a/c (like during the winter), when you have your defrosters on most vehicles are wired to cycle the a/c periodically, just to keep things lubed and operating properly...so they don't fail during the summer, when you need them.

i think you have some sort of eletrical issue and if you've checked your fuses and relays, it could be a gremlin (e.g., short) that will be more difficult to track down. have you done any dash work to your car (e.g., stereo install)???

just smack the blower motor

Ok a little update.Its my girls Jeep and she had originally had a quick lube place try to charge it and they said it was fully charged.(which now I know it wasnt)My buddy checked online and it said the rpm 's need to be elevated while taking a charge.So he did this and it took a full can of ac coolant and it instantly kicked on the compressor.It worked for about 15 minutes and then he drove it down the street and it stopped working.Could it be the high ,low sensor at the condensor?
Oh and yeah Wood I tried that and I was thinking about blowing this f-er up!

Why would you smack Wootoom in the mouth?

That won't fix the AC.

 

[silent says]

Just found out that the compressor is bad.Thanks for all the suggestions.

Are you sure? If the clutch engaged and kicked on the compressor, it's not that.

 

[silent says]

The clutch is wore out,when you tap on the front of it hard it will start spinning but then it will stop after a few seconds.Then if you tap it again it will fire back up.So maybe I dont need the whole compressor just the clutch?

be sure to tell the mechanic to check the regulator on your manifold

you need a cold air intake, direct nitrous injection, and a stand alone fuel management system
