Exzavior Williams INSERT TOM CRUISE LAUGHING MANIACALLY. 😅😅😅. I'd worry you'd come over and give me a holler-in at my place but I just have to keep a look out for a Penske truck (or similar) transporting your vaunted Aston Martin due to heating issues traversing Texas. No but seriously this was all sarcasm dude, meant it all in jest. I just didn't want to put something cancerous like FIRST or whatever.
Dude, componentry is absolutely a word :D "componentry kəmˈpəʊnəntri noun the parts of a machine or vehicle considered collectively. "while the styling is retro, the componentry is from the 21st century" "
Maybe useless, but may give you insight. Try placing an Ohmmeter from the fuse terminal to ground to see the resistance, you may be able to see if the new coil system had any effect on the change of resistance. Check the resistance on both sides of the fuse and record the data, as you do not know which side is connected to the A/C system.
I am going to assume the resistance should normally be 12v/10A= ~1.2ohms or greater for normal conditions. And you may be read .6ohms or less, causing the fuse to open. Maybe better yet, check the resistance on the old and new AC compressor coil to the see the difference. Hope this info helps, I love your channel!
ahh, my A/C failed to me in the middle of the countryside. it was the hottest day of the year and i was 90 km away from home. it was mostly highway driving at least but i was dying waiting on the car...
The refrigerant lubricates the compressor. Most cars have a safety switch that will keep not allow the compressor to kick on if you are too low in refrigerant. Also, the safety switch itself can also go bad.
If your AC clutch fuse blew it will blow again and again. The reason is because the coil inside your compressor clutch is overheating and shorting causing the fuse to blow. Replace the clutch, coil and pulley and the compressor will be fine.. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS> LMAO.
D Johnson now that I think about it this is probably correct. I work on refrigeration equipment and dirty coils cause more power draw. I had a brain fart car compressors don't draw power from electricity. I wonder if a dirty coil could have cause the compressor to over heat the solenoid coil though. I would at least look at it.
Well I'm pissed of. Last week to a Kwikfit garage. My ac was stopped working. They tested the system and concluded the delivery pump was broken. Oké they empty it. I looked to you video and think. Let's take a look onder the hood. Engine start ac on. And I hear nothing 🤔. I looked a the whire moved it a litte bit. And de ac jumped on 😊. Right at the magnet clutch 1 whire was broken. Those fuckers of Kwikfit tried to sell me a new pump. Never go to a KWIKFIT 👎👎👎 THANKS TAVARIS for the video
I liked the direction your channel was going, but i feel like you've gotten away from actually wrenching on cars. I don't know if you're just very busy but having a consistent video release schedule would help you out. Basically I don't need endless comedy, I enjoyed all the actual car work. I found you channel first and connected to B is for Build from there but I have to say I enjoy his channel more. It's hard to stay interested/engaged when you haven't worked on a car more than doing an oil change in over a month i.e. Both Mercedes
As I said in your other video. British cars are crap. Well you bought it, guess you can live with it. Great to see it broke so soon after you bought it. Sorry for some bad humor. I don't wish bad things on anyone. But you get what you pay for !
i laugh when you complain about no ac here in fl. i have a truck with a bad water pump and fan clutch have to drive with the heater on all the time because i don't have the extra cash to get the water pump. i would trade with you any time just to be able to drive somewhere with out the heater on
You can get both parts combined for $100 after tax if you get them from Amazon and shit. The fan and fan clutch (couldn't find a listing for separate parts) ran at $67. The water pump is $26.
I actually did that once, not on a car though. It can do the job and of course the aluminum foil can't blow but you're risking seriously damaging every electronic part involved. I don't think it's worth trying in that case, but everything is possible so...?
if it is burning the fuse constantly, is not necessarily that the clutch that is bad... the electric wire of the clutch could be shorted out somewhere. Remove the ac fuse, and disconnect the clutch. The take a multi-meter and use it in continuity mode, placing one of the leads in the connector in the fuse that belongs to the wire that goes to the clutch (you can know which one of the fuse terminal is the one by testing with a test lead. if the bulb doesn't go on, that's your terminal), and placing the other lead on a metal non-painted part of the engine. If there is continuity the wire that goes to the clutch is shorted. Most of the times is just the insulation of the cable that breaks.
There could also be a bad ground to the ac as well as a chafed wire causing a current draw...look at your wiring harness closely...especially where the harness is touching metal
Tavarish ..Yes, ground issue, coil cleaning and check the refrigerant levels.. A compressor will draw more current if the coils are dirty or the levels are off.. Try all that first..
Yo listen to this Tavarish, this was the case in my brothers 99 Honda civic but instead of checking the fuse box first, we swapped out the A.C compressor from a wreck yard still no luck. Then we checked the fuse box to find a blown fuse. Changed out the fuse and it kept blowing several fuses till a friend looked at the car and found the source of the problem:......a stuck fan behind the A.C condensor. Once the fan was pulled out bam!!! A working ice- cold A.C. Hope this help you out incase if you're running into the same situation as ours.
Check wiring. Sometimes the wire that goes to the Magneto which is behind the air conditioner pulley can rub and short out. That would be one critical area to look at.
how much do you think that would have costed in the dealership? that would be a nice video taking it with the blown fuse there and telling them to find the problem.
i have a problem...i changed a fuse...still broken...stopped working on it...this "wrench every day" slogan...you should try it yourself one day...what a waste of video
the clutch is prolly going out and drawing too much current when its too hot. Also change the relay or try swapping the relay and see if it still happens. Putting a 15A fuse will possibly cause a fire!!! Check power and ground going to the clutch. There is whats called a voltage drop test. check for 12v at power and less than 0.1V at ground when under load. Could even be a corroded wire or connector
Good luck. I just returned from a cottage, up here in Canada. One night it dropped down to +6 (40-ish Fahrenheit?). A/C was the least of my problems. I appreciate your struggle. Keep on keepin on.
Just hitting the A/C button doesn't always confirm an electrical problem. To be absolutely sure it works, hit the defrost button. It will engage the clutch regardless of charge.
The clutch could not be engaging due to low coolant actually. Most modern AC systems will not engage the clutch if the pressure is low in either the high or low side.
No, you don't put in a larger fuse than what the system is rated for. The wire gauge of that circuit often are not designed to handle a current higher than the fuse on the line. So if you put in a larger fuse you run the risk of actually causing wiring damage. Fuses, as you've found, don't often just blow on their own sadly. Even more advanced A/C work can be done DIY if you're smart and have access to things like a manifold gauge set and sometimes a vacuum pump. Also if you lack the tools to recover the refrigerant take it somewhere to get that part done before you work on it if you need to open the system (like replacing an evaporator, compressor, etc).
AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IF THAT FUSE EVER BLOWS AGAIN AND IT'S MOST DEFINITELY YOUR COMPRESSOR IF IT KEEPS BLOWING FUSES OUT THEN THAT MOST DEFINITELY MEANS THAT YOU NEED A NEW COMPRESSOR JUST TELLING YOU,,, I DO CARS TOO .. BUT LET'S JUST HOPE IT'S JUST A BAD FUSE
if it wouldn't of been the fuse you check the low pressure switch, you short out the plug on the connector to see if the ac clutch kicks in. then it means low pressure. so it had leaked out a little. i then check and see how much pressure is in the system. if it's a little low then i normally add a can of stop leak. If it has no pressure then there is a major leak.
Me with new cars: "Yeah that's an engine." Truthfully, I had trouble finding the wiper fluid reservoir in a newer vehicle i'm borrowing from a family member until my seats are done. I doubt I could do this, but good on you for DIYing it. It's cheaper and more fun.
Pls check if there is an open circuit in the wiring system, any open circuit touching a metal part would lead to fuse getting blown again and again. I had a similar issue with my head light fuse getting blown.
Tavarish: I have a 2002 ES300. passenger side a/c blows cold air, but the driver side blows medium to hot air. I've changed the blend door actuator twice, but the problem still persists. I also changed the fuse and relay. What could be the problem.?
Thanks for doing the update. I was caught one time with a luxury car and no money 😆 so I kept a shit load of fuses. I learned very quick! But thanks for explaining after the fuse popped again! Love your videos as always and your fix it yourself instead of running to the dealer attitude is the best. Because even if you have money why give it to the dealer? Keep up the good work bro!!!
Perfect example of what NOT to do on any vehicle. When a fuse is blown it is because you have an electrical issue, not because it is hot outside and the system overload. Any good mechanic/technician knows that. When a fuse is blown is because you have a higher amp on the system cause by a faulty electrical part and that cause to blown the fuse to protect the integrity of the wire harness and prevent a electrical fire. Second you can have a broken cable shorting to ground that can cause the fuse to blown. You just don't replace parts to see if that is the one that is bad and crossing your finger to see if you nail it or not. You need to do a proper diagnostic and see what its really wrong. Because you own a lift on your garage and a bunch of cheap tools doesn't make it a real mechanic or technician. People learn from this example and just don't replace a fuse and call it fixed or much left replace it with a bigger amp fuse to prevent the constant blown, that will just cause the electrical fire in your vehicle. If you want to watch a proper diagnostic from a real professional check South Main Auto or Pine Hollow auto diagnostic. Eric and Ivan are professionals on that.
How long til "my cheap aston martin" becomes "my money pit aston martin"? Lol
Terry Hesticles Austin 😂
He's probably talking cheaply made, because they are. Either that or he's more stupid oligarch-tier rich than he tells us.
Good ol' british engineering. Thats a feature not a bug Tavarish. It just gives it its charm. 🚗
Jaime A Vasquez Jr more likely ford... no one speaks against aston martin and gets away with it on my clock
Exzavior Williams yehehe

Hey, just an FYI, AC pump clutch wouldn't engage if the refrigerant is low (so that it won't burn the AC pump). It's a built in safety mechanism.
Maybe useless, but may give you insight. Try placing an Ohmmeter from the fuse terminal to ground to see the resistance, you may be able to see if the new coil system had any effect on the change of resistance. Check the resistance on both sides of the fuse and record the data, as you do not know which side is connected to the A/C system.
Here is a schematic of a DB9 AC system for reference: en.aston-martin-club.com/graphics/msgboard/223/full/314_ac-wiring.jpg
I am going to assume the resistance should normally be 12v/10A= ~1.2ohms or greater for normal conditions. And you may be read .6ohms or less, causing the fuse to open. Maybe better yet, check the resistance on the old and new AC compressor coil to the see the difference. Hope this info helps, I love your channel!
105 in Phoenix Arizona at 10:30 pm
Always check your wiring before ordering parts you could have a bare wire shorting out
3 things i never thougt id hear toghether, cheap, aston martin, and broke
ahh, my A/C failed to me in the middle of the countryside. it was the hottest day of the year and i was 90 km away from home. it was mostly highway driving at least but i was dying waiting on the car...
My Old A6 loved to blow its brake light fuse every other day in the summer.
before u change it check the wires there might be a rip somewhere
it you want your car to catch fire then feel free to swap out the 10 amp fuse for a 15 amp. its 10 amp for a reason
Love this guy been here since the first days
Should have gotten the bumper to bumper unlimited warranty
Your flashback sequences are awesome
Tavarish is my favorite channel. So down to earth and cool AF.
It takes a real man to pull off pink pants.
I had a feeling replacing the fuse wouldn't be enough, when a fuse blows one should figure out why it blew, a fuse blowing is never normal
My car doesn't even have a/c
Louis Doyle my ac doesn't have have a car.
mariosgeo2 I see a solution to both of your problems.
XfiRated lmao wtf
The refrigerant lubricates the compressor. Most cars have a safety switch that will keep not allow the compressor to kick on if you are too low in refrigerant. Also, the safety switch itself can also go bad.
the moment you said, 'let me begin with a little story' I was like: 'DAMN PICK THE POPCORN BRO'
I think it flipped open on the right page cuz DeMuro dog eared it previously. 😂
Likely is the clutch coil, shorts out when its hot. Hopefully its not a shot in some part of the harness somewhere.
The compressor won't come if it is low on freon it has a pressure switch keeping the compressor from turning on when it is low on freon
I am so crazy and odd, but, I would have to get a new bolt for that manual. Just knowing something is missing would bother me lol
solid reenactment
Clutch won't engage if it's low on refrigerant...high or low pressure switch
Make lemonade with that Aston mate!
Try to clean the coil with a hose it is probably stopped up causing high head pressures
I'm going to clean the condenser, but I worry that it's not the issue.
If your AC clutch fuse blew it will blow again and again. The reason is because the coil inside your compressor clutch is overheating and shorting causing the fuse to blow. Replace the clutch, coil and pulley and the compressor will be fine.. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS> LMAO.

I can loan you a desktop fan if that helps?

A Doug DeMuro replica commented!
Componentry = good word, correctly used before you unnecessarily corrected yourself
that is amazing way to explain things..... God bless you
ياشباب شوفوا وشلون حل المشكلة ..... ممتاز
We do have ac in the UK... ahahah... It's probably out of a Vauxhall like the fuses lol...
Should have had the bumper to bumper warranty!
Assume you'll need to drain the system to replace the compressor?
That's nothing man, i had to drive 40 kilometers home (24 miles) when my camry's AC broke. It was 120 fucking degrees or about 48C
Toooo... coool video man :D
Benefits of bumper to bumper warranty.
It was 105 and so bad I had to roll my window down... tf why didn't you just put the window down in the first place
Well I'm pissed of. Last week to a Kwikfit garage. My ac was stopped working. They tested the system and concluded the delivery pump was broken. Oké they empty it. I looked to you video and think.

THANKS TAVARIS for the video
There is a reason that the fuse keeps blowing
Great vid.
put a 20amp fuse see what happens
Bro you need a haircut asap lol!
plus head temps will be cooler with trimmed hair.
Put in a 40amp fuse and call it a day...
105? Are you still in CFL?
Solid C cups yo. Cool channel though.
I liked the direction your channel was going, but i feel like you've gotten away from actually wrenching on cars.

Here ladies and gentlemen is an example of really bad luck
LUIS CASTRO unfortunately it isn't bad luck. Buying British is pretty much the issue, and I hate saying that because I am a Brit...
S CLASS, S CLASS, S CLASS!!!!!!!!
Damn that sucks...and you sweat ALOT!..
When are you going to work on your Mercedes
Next episode!
Damn you're the boss :)
Eh, just throw a 15 amp in there.
As I said in your other video. British cars are crap. Well you bought it, guess you can live with it. Great to see it broke so soon after you bought it. Sorry for some bad humor. I don't wish bad things on anyone. But you get what you pay for !
What a waste of money,m 97 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP kills this car in both reliability and performance!
Money... where do YOU get it from?
Natan Szulc that would explain his man boobs😂😂😂
Just bend a nail and cram it in the fuse hole and go to the gym . Eat a salad. Move away from the desert . Nothing grows there
Just turn off the damn air!😊
#wrenche very day
One word. Chest!!! DAYUM!
i laugh when you complain about no ac here in fl. i have a truck with a bad water pump and fan clutch have to drive with the heater on all the time because i don't have the extra cash to get the water pump. i would trade with you any time just to be able to drive somewhere with out the heater on
what kind of truck?
1996 mazda b3000 aka ford ranger
You can get both parts combined for $100 after tax if you get them from Amazon and shit. The fan and fan clutch (couldn't find a listing for separate parts) ran at $67. The water pump is $26.
How cheap again?
Allahu akbar
First one to view it
Why do you spell wrench with an "e" on the end?
I don't
So it's not "very day"?
Just take out the fuse and replace it with aluminum foil.
seems legit
I actually did that once, not on a car though. It can do the job and of course the aluminum foil can't blow but you're risking seriously damaging every electronic part involved. I don't think it's worth trying in that case, but everything is possible so...?

The wiring seems to be fine, as it's only doing it after a while, but I can certainly test it tomorrow. Thanks!
There could also be a bad ground to the ac as well as a chafed wire causing a current draw...look at your wiring harness closely...especially where the harness is touching metal
I shall do that.

Ford makes the best AC systems, always cold enough to freeze you out if you want.
I thought it had a bumper to bumper warranty ?
Hommes d'influence
You got me
Check the cooling fans. Same thing happened to my jaguar
The ghost of Joseph Lucas still haunts all British cars.
No, you don't put in a larger fuse than what the system is rated for. The wire gauge of that circuit often are not designed to handle a current higher than the fuse on the line. So if you put in a larger fuse you run the risk of actually causing wiring damage.

Aaron E That's why all the wires in my house are crispy strands
At least it's not embarrassing like the a.c. on my truck!! Lol
N0T0FTHIS EARTH lol sorry.. I was talking to tavarish about it when I was there. I guess the comment was more for him.
Shout out daily
First
If it's blowing fuses for the AC, it's probably the circuit coil on the compressor shorting to ground!
yup. just replaced mine 1 month ago. PITA but worked like a charm
AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IF THAT FUSE EVER BLOWS AGAIN AND IT'S MOST DEFINITELY YOUR COMPRESSOR IF IT KEEPS BLOWING FUSES OUT THEN THAT MOST DEFINITELY MEANS THAT YOU NEED A NEW COMPRESSOR JUST TELLING YOU,,, I DO CARS TOO .. BUT LET'S JUST HOPE IT'S JUST A BAD FUSE
I'm pretty positive it's the coil.
Tavarish it could be can't wait to see the next video keep up the good work g
if it wouldn't of been the fuse you check the low pressure switch, you short out the plug on the connector to see if the ac clutch kicks in. then it means low pressure. so it had leaked out a little. i then check and see how much pressure is in the system. if it's a little low then i normally add a can of stop leak.
