A/C Problems

[TexasMuscle_210]

Today I was driving down the Mustang Show on the bay and my A/C was blowing fine and all of a sudden it started blowing hot air. I checked to see if the compressor clutch would engage and it did for a split second and nothing more after that. I'm unsure if I need a new clutch or entire compressor unit, or maybe the compressor relay. Any information would help me, I don't want to pay a arm and a leg for A/C work

A/C work is always tricky

I'm not familiar with A/C, hopefully someone who is will chime in. How about recharging the unit?

After I left the show, I went straight to Autozone to get a R134a unit and the gauge on the unit showed that it was fully charged

Fuse?

I replaced the compressor relay in the fender last year, but I need to check my fuses.

Did it just happened today? Not blowing cold air is a sign of the clutch not Engaging.

With the AC on you should see the clutch energized / spinning

Emilio I really appreciate that bro. I popped the hood and was watching the compressor pulley with the A/C on and the clutch engaged for a split second and never kicked back on. I guess I'll go buy a new clutch tomorrow and get to it this weekend so I can have some A/C.

So I changed the A/C cycle switch and the A/C compressor clutch kicked in and the cold air started blowing. Thank God it was an easy fix
