A/C Non-existant
 
So i have searched through every A/C thread i can find and so far have not found a solution to my problem. First i got a recharge kit to make sure i had the right amount of refrigerant in it and i topped off what little i needed. Then i tried doing the A/C reset by pressing those two buttons for 3 seconds while eventually getting the car to the "on" position. Then finally i did that A/C test to make sure the knob was working and it goes from 0-16 as it should. Yet when i turn on my A/C i get nothing but ambient warm texas air.... I tightened the belt too thinking that maybe it was slipping.

So what could my problem be or should i check next?

Thanks in advance

Is the clutch (compressor) engaging?

Sounds like it works just fine... Nothing seems out of place at all except for the fact that it does not blow cold air. I guess ill check fuses but at this point im not sure what the deal is.

You need to put a set of gages on it and test it out.

After a little bit more looking i found that the plug in the picture below was not plugged in. Hoping that was my problem i plugged it in and got nothing...

Since your driving an 05, this TSB may apply if it hasn't been done already: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...02-04-1338.pdf.

i believe i already had it done but im going to go check my papers again right now. I just dont want to have to take my car back to the dealer and have to swap out my midpipe for the cat-pipe again so if i do need to have this done im just going to reset my cel right before and go in....

Its just odd though because before i got the new engine my A/C was ice cold, I dont use my A/C very often but when i do i would like it to work.

I had the tsb done and they literally change out a box. I also completely emptied and changed out the gas/ oil / added dye in case of leaks ... finally did the wrap the back ac line mod ... my ac is really cold ... (and I have an 04)

have you checked to see if you have any codes in your climate control unit?

Spoolin8 04-11-2010 11:45 AM

currently i dont have a ses on. It does not look like the TSB has been done yet for my car. Does the TSB ever expire since im out of warranty or do they still have to value it? My dealer is really cool so im not expecting any problems but i just want to check.

I hit a large pot hole yesterday and i think it busted up my a/c compressor. My front end bumped really hard on the pavment and now my ac vents are blowing out hot (not warm) air. If it is my compressor tgat is busted, hopefully i can find a replacement cheap.

i know mines not leaking because i have been testing the pressure on the low side and it remains the same. Tomorrow im going to call about the TSB and see about having that swapped out.

Just called the dealership and my VIN does not fall into the TSB for the A/C so im not sure what the deal could be.

I am having the same problem. The air isn't just warm, its hot! I just had my oil changed last week, and I noticed it shortly after.
