New to the forum/No working air conditioner!!

Yikes...I am so upset. My AC is screwed up! I hear it blowing out, but there is no air coming out of the blower vents. I know sometimes when women take vehicles to the shop...they get screwed over. So, I was wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong with it! If any of you can help I would aprreciate it. I love working on cars-but this time I just can't figure the thing out.

Thanks....Brittany

You will need to do some diagnosis and post results before you get a lot of good help. Do you have a psi guage you can hookup to the low side to get a reading?

Have you checked the simple things like fuses, and jumper power to the compressor to make sure it turns on?

My ac went out and it was a bad low-side pressure switch. Real easy to change and cost less than $15. They tend to go out all the time but I am not saying this is your problem.

Welcome Brittney, just how experienced are you at automotive repair? The gang here can absolutely help.

1. Did the AC fail suddenly, or gradually.

2. More importantly,
A. Drive the van somewhere, with the A/C on.
B. Open the hood.
Question, is there pipe over on the passenger side dripping with moisture, and cold to the touch?
If "YES" you've got a "Vaccume" issue, (Cheap).


If "NO", tell us more
