A/C Quit

My A/C quit on the way to work today. The compressor will still run, but no cool air. There is also an oil substance on my dash vents :eek:

Any ideas on what went out?

Sounds like the condensor sprang a leak. In simple terms, its like your heater core, but the opposite for a/c. Get it fixed quickly or your drier will need to be replaced too.

Hmmm... that's a weird one. *usually* the compressor wont run with low system pressure (such as a leak). The compressor will chew itself up with no refrigerent- since the refrigerent also lubes the compressor. Start with the simple stuff- I assume the blower is working as it should, make sure the selector knob settings coincide with what vents are working. Could be a stuck/broken louver/diverter. Make sure the engine isnt running hot & the electric radiator fan cycles on/off as it should with the a/c on (if your truck is equiped with an auto trans)

Took it in today. Looks like the compressor went out. Its a special order item and will take a week to get it in :(

So, where'd the oily stuff come from?

:confused:

I don't know, maybe they'll find something else once the compressor is replaced.

Well, the AC got fixed today. Total = $1340 :eek2:

They put in a brand new Isuzu compressor, over $800. Plus a new dryer.

Glad I bought that ext. warranty !!!
