    Thanks for sharing. My connector broke and fell apart, so I had to expose the two terminals on the sensor and solder the wires on to them to make it work.

    My AC stops blowing cold when I come to a stop for more than a couple of minutes. I thought maybe it was low on Freon so I went ahead and added a lil bit, however it still does it. It blows cold AF when I'm moving even 20mph but get stopped and it stops working. I hear strange noises like the blend door moving or something and when I take off the same noises. Maybe it's the same issue.

    Thanks for the video. You identified my problem. I wasn’t able to wedge the cables back into the plug. So you k is the name of the plug and wire and the part number? Thanks again for helping me identify my problem.

    Never put stop leak in anything because it makes your A/C hoses come a part from the inside and gets in your compressor and make it lock up

      When you go under the passenger seat dash board you will see the small wire clipped on the side (it's the only white clip there) with two wires attached. Mine was not broke so my A/C has different issue now.

    Hello, hoping you can help me... I have a 2015 (451) Smart Fortwo Passion, and I realized that the "air recirculation switch" doesn't work, I mean, it lights up (and it used to work quite nice), but after a minor service at the MB agency, it stoped working, I don't wanna go back there since I had a very bad experience with them (terrible service), do you have any idea what the problem might be? Thank you in advance...

    My Ac quit. 08 for two with 72000 km. put on a compressor from another 08 with 42000 km and it quit too after only 1000km. . I pulled apart 1st pump and found that the rotor that holds the vanes broke , jamming the pump. 2nd pump is likely the same. Anyone have any idea why this would happen twice?

    • @HiRevzMedia
      @HiRevzMedia  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds like it could just be low on refrigerant, or the condenser is not getting enough air flow when stopped, and then when you start going again, it catches back up. Which is somewhat normal for the latter.
