A/C Problem
I had my A/C recharged about 6-7 weeks ago now it is blowing hot air. Before getting it charged it did blow some what cool air but not cold. This is a '01 GP SE 3.1 with 120,000 on it. I have never had to have it charged up before this year. There is no noticable noise coming from the compressor. Any help is appreciated.

Re: A/C Problem
You should see the clutch engage if it doesn't it sound like you have a leak in the system. The reason the compressor will not run is that there a pressure sensor. If there is no freon or it is very low the pressure sensor will not allow the compressor to run.

Re: A/C Problem
Without knowing any more or doing any testing whatsoever, I will say that a classic failure mode is the compressor's shaft seal wearing out and slowly leaking down....especially with increasing mileage without any other past issues.

Re: A/C Problem
It turns out that it was the "head unit". ( the one with the fan settings as well as the A/C, and heat settings. ) The mechanic told me that it was not telling the A/C to shut off, I.E. the light was always lit up even if you pushed the button to turn it off. It still had plenty of freon in it I was told. If anyone knows for a fact that this could not have been the problem let me know!
