- 2016 Explorer Limited
I have a 2016 Explorer Limited. The other day, the AC started blowing warm. When I jump the relay at the fuse block, the compressor turns on, and the AC works fine. Otherwise, the compressor will not run. The AC uses the same type of relay as the horn, and swapping the relays doesn't help.
I shot a little refrigerant into the car while the compressor was running. I didn't have a gauge, so I was afraid to overdo it. I figured I would shoot enough in there to make sure the problem wasn't low refrigerant. The compressor still will not run unless it's jumped.
Any ideas? I would like to get the right tools, evacuate the system, charge it, and see how things go, but if the compressor won't run, I guess I'll have to pay a mechanic.
