Dude. You need to do an ac delete, you never use it. You said so yourself. It's going to cost a few fingers to replace but you should be able to get one at a salvage yard.

Do the delete and don't look back. Just think of it as weight reduction. You'll lose 40lbs. under the hood and it'll take 2 hours of your time tops. And it's one less belt you have dragging on the crank.

 

You guys have to over look me at times I have a sport car mentallity not 4x4.

 

i did the jumper test on my low pressure switch(clutch pressure cycle switch)connector off the accumulator and it engages my clutch,so i replace that switch itself (not the connector) thinking that might be badbut it still would not come on.freon charge is still good, but the clutch would still not engage once i turn the a/c on, (i let run for another 5-10 minutes)what is my next step? thanks again.

 

in that case it sounds like for some reason the switch is not being triggered. i dont know exactly what all you have checked but my compressor had the same problem where it wouldnt engage this was due to a blocked or clogged oriface tube. this is often over looked in the a/c system. this is a small tube with a mesh filter in it. it is located inside the lower tube of the evaporator located in the firwall housing directly behind the pcm. lastcoupe is right a fused jumper is better but the whole system is fused and should be ok.

 

[sm=smiley20.gif]My A/C works again!!!! thank god and the guy from schucks autostore forhelping meout too, guess his an A/C tech.but i told him also what is going on and he said to try bleeding off the accumulator,it may be full of air and if it does i could keep charging it and it won't do a damn thing. I bled ituntil i hear no more air coming out.i turnedonthe truck and the a/cthen start charging it and tada!! my clutch engages and it startblowing cold airinside, man that save me a ton of money.Hopefully this might also help someone if they have problem with their a/c.thank you for allyourinputs, i would havenever known where to start.[sm=thanx.gif]

 

Cool! Glad you got it fixed and thank you for the follow up!

 

I think this may be my problem. If it gets below 40 degrees outside my compressor refuses to come on an the interior a/c light just flashes. When its warmer it works fine. I guess I shouldnt complain though- who needs A/C when its 40 out.. But I know its better for the system if it cycles throughout the year to keep all the seals lubed. Thanks for the follow-up!

 

I dont understnad how I would do this!

I am new to engines. I need information in great detail.. (pictures maybe)

I dont know what is wrong with my air conditioning system. When I have the controls set to max ac on level four on the coolest the clutch should spin right? Mine doesent and it wont. What does this mean? Is it just not working because it is low on the freon and I need to recharge it or is there something seriously wrong?

I heard about the "jumping" with the paper clips so that the compresser will kick on. But I dont know where or what I would be jumping. And after I "jump" what I am suppose to will this make the clutch spin?

And I also heard about bleeding the accumulatior. Where is this located? How would I do this?

PLEASE explain how to fix my AC withgreat detail. (like your teaching someone who just bought a car)

I dont want to spend so much money to find out whats wrong with my ac if you guys could help me. sooo please!

Thank you in advance.

I have a 99 blazer 4x4 4.3 liter V6 if it helps any.

 

its getting hot now guys!! PLEASE HELP!

 

Calm down man! 3 freakin' minutes. Makes me really want to jump up and help... Such impatience.

Oh and do not post the SAME questions multiple places. One thread is all that is necessary.
