More about the AC problems with a 2001 Venture
The blower does work but it blows hot air. The dealership said the freon was charged and no leaks. If they by-passed the main A/C control unit the compressor would kick in but it would only kick in if they by-passed the main control unit. When I push the A/C button the light come on but it doesn't seem to make things work. We checked all the fuses and they all check out okay. We tried putting in a used A/C control unit from a different van that we knew worked and no change in the problem. Is there other things I should check before paying $$$ that I don't have to spend? Any help Please Thanks, Debra
Preasure switches, relays???? Any thing???
Any help would be great. It is just to hot to have kids in a van with no A/C!
I'm not sure what "by-passed the main A/C control unit" means.
Did they SHOW you what they did to make it work?

I had some problems with my A/C too. You can read about those issues (and see some pictures) at the link below. Just scroll down to the entry for Feb. 11 (where is all began) and start there. Also check out the other entries that mention A/C, like the one for May 26 (relay).
