I was able to get some time to take it to a quick ac service shop and they evacuated the system, pulled a vacuum and filled up with the proper amount of r134. My hopes were high but soon dashed as the clutch still didn't want to kick on. At least now I know what it isn't. Any other ideas? thank you...

Run your fan speed where YOU feel comfortable. I find on my '88 Mazda truck, 1998 Frontier, and 2004 Frontier (Arizona) that I use the speed about 3/4 of maximum. Of course with vents directed at occupants. When it has been parked in daylight, the inside-cabin air is hotter than the outside air, so ...

Simple answer: Air moves slower across the coil allowing for more time to remove the heat load. 1. Yes, the temperature of the air will be lower because of the low speed (see above). 2. The cooling of the person or cabin is determined by how many BTUs are exchanged. So the person will likely be mor...

Exactly what I would do.

I am trying to workout my wife's A/C problem. 2007 Mazda MX-5 (Miata) GT. Today her A/C works great, but when it is hot outside it does not get cool at all vents are warm. I hooked up a manifold and went through the pressure test as per the Mazda manual. Here are the numbers: Engine warm @ 1500RPM,...

I've also noticed a similar noise sometimes - only on first compressor engagement of the day - on my 2004 Nissan Frontier. Other than that it works fine. I haven't tried this so far in 2024 as weather hasn't required AC. I installed a new compressor, condenser, drier on this in 2018 at about 102K mi...

Walmart historically has had poor inventory control. Stay away from R134a that contains leak sealer of any kind. https://www.autozone.com/a-c-charging-and-refrigerant/r134a-refrigerant/p/shoppro-r134a-refrigerant-12oz/3275_0_0 https://www.amazon.com/Chemours-National-Refrigerant-Self-Sealing-Contain...

Thanks again Tbird. My thought was that putting a cutoff switch in the wire from the LPCO would stop the compressor from running when the switch is open. Does that make sense? It is much easier to get to than the wire to the compressor. Yes, that would work to interrupt the circuit. Can someone com...

On most modern vehicles, the compressor comes on when in the defrost is switched on. And on some, I've read that that the compressor stays on until the ignition is switched off. See if that happens with your Jeep.

Immediate mass exodus from most of Arizona !!!

Actually, mass exodus of people and jobs from many parts of the world, worldwide chaos.
