What to do if there is no power to the AC compressor?

CondoCruiser, Plan-B Trucking, Cetane+ and 1 other person Thank this. put gauges on system. if there’s no freon. there’s also no voltage to the compressor. you need at least 50 lbs freon before the compressor will kick on. think, low pressure switch staying off.

What are the symptoms of a bad AC compressor?

Has no power to compressor has ground, new relay, fuse is good and also has no power to pressure switch, but has power to cycling switch. I have checked all of GM tech bulletins.

How can I tell if my AC unit is working?

For starters, you can verify that the wiring is good from the relay to the compressor by removing the relay and jumping power to the exciter circuit and see if the compressor comes on. If it turns on, you know that that part of the circuit is intact. Then see if you are missing any of the other signals from the relay plug.

Is there a bad a / C pressure switch shutting off the compressor?

Put 12 volts to the compressor and make sure the clutch locks up first. You checked the compressor clutch fuse, right? Highly unlikely the ECM died for the a/c only. Is there a bad a/c pressure switch shutting off the compressor? Get a shop to hook up the manifold gauges, jump the compressor to engage it and read the pressures.

Is there a problem with my a / C system?

A/C ISSUES. Electrical not getting power to the compressor Hey guys, I’ve run into a problem with my A/C system and need advice.
