a/c

Hello All, I am new to this forum since my personal vehicle is a Powerstroke 6.0 diesel, but I am looking for information regarding my wife's 1998 Eddie Bauer (45,000 miles). Had it in the shop several times. It has an automatic climate control system but in A/C mode it will work for a few...

I have an '02 with a V8. Recently my A/C has started blowing hot, but sometimes starts blowing cold again after I restart my car again. I have also noticed that when the A/C blows hot the windshield wipers don't work and do work when it blows cold. Is there any way I can fix this myself (very...

hi, i just joined the forum to search for help. i own an 2005 explorer my a/c blows out hot air, AND my wifes about to have a baby and we need a/c asap! at first i thought the ac control switch module may need to be replaced. so i replaced it and still blows hot. the air has been charged and...

My AC button doesn't work so the only way i get my AC to work is if i put it on MAX AC. Which doesn't really help because all that does is recycle the air in the car. Also if I have MAX AC on and go over 40mph the blower automatically switches and blows the air out of the defroster vents. Can...

ok so a/c would not work on high speed so took everything apart checked resistor and switch and bla bla bla but anyway it was the high speed relay so pulled the air box (more like cylinder) out and replaced the relay 11$ fix yay the high speed works awesome not! the air only comes out of the...

So I have had my Ranger for about a year now. It never had A/C and today I decided to fix it. I got a new compressor and coolant. After installing everything the air ran great, at first. After a 10 minute test drive it started overheating and threating to stall. I had previously replaced the...

(98 Merc Mountaineer 5.0 L 302 HO) I seem to have low airflow form my front vents( including the defroster vents) even when the fan is set to high. The fan sounds like it should on all settings and the airflow to the rear seating area seems to be unaffected. The air temps that it is putting out...

I have a 98 Eddie Bauer Explorer with the automatic climate control. I have just serviced my a/c: vacuum, check for leaks, refill, the basic stuff. When I turn on the a/c, my condenser sweats and gets nice and cold, but only a portion of that makes it into the cab and only at idle. When I...

We bought this Explorer new and it has been very well maintained. No accidents, no major problems. For the last three years the AC hasnt worked correctly, barely cooling a full refrigerant charge. The heat would only work when it wants to, and only if the temp is on 65, nothing else, it works...

This is wat the Ford dealer said: "Ran A/C diagnostics. Found no power to cycling switch. R&R A/C Mode Switch to trace wires going to high side pressure switch. Found broken wires." The dealer wanted $525 to fix. I thought that was a rip off to fix a broken wire. My question...

I had a leak and just replaced the A/C line on my 94 Explorer Sport. The A/C was blowing hot air and I assumed it was just due to no R134 in the system. I charged the system and could only get it to 25psi. When I let it run for a second, the pressure release valve on the back of the compressor...

Hello. I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0 6cyl 4WD. The AC fan cuts on and off while driving. It seems to happen most of the time on AUTO. But also happens on non AUTO setting. It tends to happen on the higher fan settings and almost never on the lowest setting. The symptoms are the...

I posted a video just last week about this. My RPM rises and drops when I turn my A/C on. The air doesn't come out cold, just cool. Here's a video showing what my compressor does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OISTsfUp7Ss I also noticed a small hissing noise after I turned the engine off and...

I posted a thread about this a while ago. Whenever I turn my A/C on my RPM rises and drops, there's also a clicking sound that it makes while it does this. Here's a link to the video. Sorry about the low volume. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXyTFq5g-Aw

I have a 2000 xlt that has RPM trouble whenever I turn on the A/C or Max A/C. I've noticed that when I turn the A/C on the RPM rises on it's own, goes back down, then makes a "clicking" sound and rises again. This process happens about 6-8 times a minute. Does anyone have an idea of what this...

I have a 97 ford explorer and the A/C or Heat will NOT blow when I turn on either of them. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Just got my hands on a 93 eddie bauer automatic for 550$. Pretty sweet deal. Any way I need a new ac compressor and was wondering how to take it out from another ford at the junk yard and then place the new one in my ford.

Hi, all. Yesterday the A/C on my 2002 Explorer started making a strange noise when turned on. I checked under the hood and it seems to be sparking between the belt and front face of the pulley, with metal grinding on metal. That's accompanied by an unpleasant burning smell. I am quite...

On my 2000 Ford Explorer the A/C cycles on and off. After some testing yesterday I came to the conclusion that at idle the compressor may cycle once or twice but for the most part its blasting cold air. As soon as I go for a drive the compressor must cut out and it goes warm again. I...

Hey Guys, I have a 1998 Ford Explorer 4.0 SOHC 175,000 miles or so. Ive had the truck since 50000. I am a back yard mech and keep up with the truck. Truck was working fine, i moved to california for 18 months left it with the wife and now its breaking down in every way. My friends tell...

Hello everyone - Was looking for some direction on where to look on my 1996 AWD Explorer Eddie Bauer. It has been parked for over a year and I was going to get it out and do some maintenance on it to prepare it to be driven. It has 215k miles and the drivetrain is in great condition. The...

ok i have a 95 explorer sohc v6 with some ac problems i have checked the fuse an tried to jump the low pressure side an charge but when i jumped it the ac clutch still did not turn on, so whats next in diagnosing this problem? thanks,

Compressor not engaging. I recently purchased a 97 limited 5.0, the previous owner was a complete idiot when it came to any work on any vehicle. I claimed the EATC head unit went bad and bought used unit that as I discovered was a 98 unit. I located connectors and rewired it to the existing...

Hey guys, anybody seen this scenerio? Pressure is running high (100 or so) but it won't engage the compressor. 3 people have tried to jump it and it will not jump, however every once in a while it will engage just for a few seconds on its own without jumping just to tease me. When it does...

I have searched the forums and have not seen this problem addressed specifically. I have a 2005 Mountaineer with manual a/c that I just bought with 49K miles. The air comes out through the floor vents in all settings. When the vents are set to the panel I get air from both the panel and...
