My A/C in my car has stopped working.?

the refrigerant level probably got to low so it shut off. It's a safety feature so it don't hurt the compresser motor when it's lubrication is gone just have someone that knows how to fill it properly fill it back up and it will kick in again and start blowing out cold air.

That would happen if the freon leaked out of your system.

Predictions of failed compressors are premature. Though the reason it leaked out might also be expensive.

They'll have to find the leak, fix the leak, draw a vacuum on the system to get all the air out (and bubble the water vapor out of the lubricant or wherever else it's condensed - in a pure vacuum, water evaporates at a fairly low temperature.) Then charge the system with freon and go.

If you had an old car that used R-12, now is the time to convert to R-134A. R-12 has a catalytic effect on the ozone layer - that means it survives the chemical reaction so it can do it again and again, like an ozone serial killer.

If your compressor has failed it an expensive ordeal.

1. Refrigerant must be recovered, it is against the law to release refrigerant into the atmosphere.

2. Compressor must be replaced

3. Accumulator must be changed

4. System must be back-flushed to rid of any contaminates

5. System must be recharged.

By the time the dust settles it could cost upwards of $ 800

Maybe yes and maybe no. It is most likely low on freon. If it is less than 15 years old you can buy an AC refill kit for less than 20 bucks. If the old freon leaked out slowly, then thats normal, if it leaked out rapidly, then a repair is needed, and it can easily be costly. If you get the UV light stuff then it will be a lot easier to fin that leak.

The a/c system probably has a leak. Depending on where the leak is, it could turn out to be an expensive repair.

it sounds like your freon or r134 (depending on what kind of car you have) is low. there is a sensor that checks for pressure in the system. if the pressure falls below a preset value, the sensor trips a swith to deactivate the a/c to prevent damage from occuring.

one concern to learn is the electrical powered floor. If the blower motor isn't grounded, it won't artwork. it is grounded in the process the plug linked to the motor. verify the wires linked to the blower motor. Wiggle them and notice if there's a nasty connection on considered one of them. Relays have a geared up in thermal overload protection on a number of them. they at times bypass undesirable. changing the relay may be the 2nd step.

Hi

It probably just needs recharging with refridgerant. Our local branch of Halfords do it for a penny short of a tenner.

check ,whether You have Juice at the compressor clutch.

It's probably th ecompressor and it is expensive. Leave it off til you find out.
