So i get in my car this morning to go to class and turn up the A/C. All i feel is hot air. ****. i restart my car. same thing. the AC light is on and the fans are working but all i get is hot air.

I got home and did a pressure test by pressing one of the valves down and it had pressure.
AC lines are Hot to the touch.

Someone please help. its hot as hell in S.FL

 

Is the compressor engaging??

 

i was going to check that in a few when it stops raining. guessing its not tho. How do i tell, just sit in the car and try an turn the AC on? my car usually shudders for a second. If my compressor is not turning on what could it be. Relay?

 

im havin the same problem right now...well kinda. my light and A/C will come on for a min or two then shut off. i got it looked at and they determined that it was an electrical problem but couldn't figure out exactly what. so could be an electrical problem...maybe

 

my AC light is solid

 

Could be relay or a bad clutch, open the hood and start the car turn A/c on and listen for a click noise that will be the clutch engaging on the compressor I would also physically look to see if is spinning as well just be care ful DO NOT reach in inside the enginge compartment while engin is running

 

I had huge issues with my AC a few months after I got my SS. The compressor was burned out, the Evaporator (cold side in the cabin) was bad, and some of the tubing was bad. The only thing which I thought could have been wrong was that the condenser was damaged (had just installed the CA H/E).
After a month of the dealiership dicking around it got fixed.

To check to see if your compressor is engaging start the car with the AC off. let it run and settle down to normal idle. then hit the AC button and you should hear/feel the engine adjust for the load increase. you should also hear a click as the AC clutch engages.

 

will do. damn this sucks... no AC at this time of year is enuf to drive you crazy

 

alright, so my cooling fan is not turning on with my AC ither. does that mean its a relay? if so which one?

 

I don't know what is wrong, but is your Balt under warranty??? Has been really hot up here in Daytona. I feel bad for you in Boca especially. Here is a quick fix: when not raining lower windows, always works for me.

When I had my accident I turned my temp. regulator to hot and it was cooler. Try that, if so it should be the condenser.

 

So the compressor is not engauging??

 

after you turn on your ac you should here your compressor turn on and its a clicking sound, another thing to check is your blower hear to see if its working which is on the passenger side under the glove compartment

 

nope just over Mileage =(

still cant tell, I think so... my exhaust tone kinda changes a little when i try and turn my AC on

the blower insde is working because air is stll being pushed out of the vents.

My cooling fan is not turning on now when i try and turn on my AC. which makes me think its a relay.

Advanced auto is the worst store that iv ever been to. the stupid guy didnt kno wht a relay was. I have to g pick some up at the chevy dealer later and see if thts the problem.

The AC lines are litterally HOT to the touch after driving

 

i went for 2 years no AC in my last mustang...it was messed up when I bought the car, so I just removed it altogether. lol.

 

i bet the compressor isnt running. they do have a pressure switch where is the refridgerant gets low it wont turn on.

 

Yeah try the relay if that dosent work I dont know what to tell you besides take it to the dealer and have them look at it

Ah good point their might be enough pressure in there when you checked it but not enough to run the compressor.

 

i think i still have pressure, how do i tell?

I just purged the lines a bit and it seemed to have high pressure.

 

You probably have a bad A/C relay. Change that shiznit first!

 

take it to the dealer and see what they tell you ?

 

I just read this entire thread and it's exactly the same problem that I am having as we speak. I'll take a look but if you guys found a solution or someone else experienced this, please let me know what it was.

 

wow guys, relax with the relay stuff and all that. compressor won't turn on with low levels. take a black light all over your AC components and see what glows, hopefully you have dye from the factory. go over your condensor directly behind your front bumper, your compressor(front compressor seals) and the lines that go out of your firewall. report back after this.

also, interior cobalt issues SUCK! customer states top vent doesn't work...well snap







-mother-of-god- lmao

 

ended up being an electrical problem. AC pres switch failure.


This thread is pretty old eh lol.

 

lol right on...Newest Posts my ass....lmao

oh well you at leats get to check out the fun i had throughout 2 days last week...i couldn't believe it didnt rattle but turned out well.

 

lol iv been there. I have had my cobalt stripped almost to that point before haha

 

i see someone other than me had the pleasure of replacing the blendor on the evaporator case huh lol not fun
