I had a similar situation with my Vito no cold air. I gave compressor a couple of light taps with a copper mallet while the A/C compressor was engaged near the regulator actuator. it was enough to jar the actuator and freed it up so that system worked. It has been operational now for two years.
This may not work for everyone,but worth a try.

Thanks for such a great video and your explanations are clear and brilliant !! Question please - if I replaced a Sprinter 2006 AC compressor with a new one that was possibly not the correct size - Could this explain why the unit worked on Cold to start with then after a few weeks of use stopped working on Cold again?
Mike Brunt Yes, it's possible!
Great information thank you

Your the best!
Gideon Sauceda Thank you!!
good video , what was the temp at the compressor control valave , at the first of the video was black round on top towards rear of compressor , I find them to be around 500 to 600 just had one over 1400 so the compressor would not engage $90 part
@user-wm7vi2mz7z Thanks!
Hello, love your videos. How do I replace the HVAC blend door actuator on a 2012 Sprinter 3500 3.0 liter van. No one has a video on this. Thank you!
@davidmiyasako3060 Thanks for loving the videos, the blend door actuator is next to the acccelerator pedal under the dash, I will make a video about it soon!
thanks a lot brother

Hy! A have the same compressor model+ cluch, at sprinter and, the compressor is changed, but the same error from ecu b1602, AY91 regulation valve posititiv short circuit to ground...and te compressor cluch is working buth no pressure, just warming up the compressor...any idea? Thx! No electric fault found....
Attila Deak I didn't understand your question! what are you experiencing!!
You did a very good job of explaining the whole process. I have a similar problem with no cold A/C air except I know the compressor is good as I just bought the Denso compressor. Since I am having problems with the A/C system not excepting the freon though I have managed to get a static pressure of around 75 PSI. My next thing I want to do is go to the A/C compressor control valve (low pressure switch) and see if I am getting power to the red line. It seems like I am not as the compressor is not cycling the freon in. Do you agree with me on this? I really respect your knowledge of this job and would greatly appreciate your help. Something is keeping the compressor from doing its job. Please respond. Thank you sir. Wayne
Wayne Hendricks yes make sure the compressor is getting power and ground!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Thank you so much for the fast reply. Have you heard of a 100 amp fuse at the PreFuse Box on a 2010 Mercedes ML350 Bluetec?
@@waynehendricks8187 No, I haven't
my sprinter van 2500 ac unit is working fine but not as cold in the front driver and passenger side. Suggestions? no leak or anything...does it need a recharge?
Mark Lete Yes! You should start by checking the amount of refrigerant that is in it! it might be low!
Nice video
jose Gonzalez Thank you!!
i have a 2008 dodge 2500 sprinter. the A/C is turning on and runs cold until up to temp and then it gets hot unless i am driving. the fan is not kicking on at all. do you know what would cause this?
i have recharged the A/C,replaced the fans,and replaced the relay on the fan housing.
@tonyedmundson-1907 check your AC pressure switches and fan sure your fan is good!
Hi would a faulty compressor explain a loss in A/C gas but with no visible leaks on the pump and pipes?
@lukesancasciani Hi, No! a faulty compressor would not cause the refrigerant to leak out!
nice video. question what happen if you add more refrigerant than what is supposed?
Pedro Burgos too much refrigerant in the AC system will cause the AC not to work properly or it can blow up a component on the system!!
Hi Great Video..... I have the same compressor I removed the dust cover on the front after it stopped working Melted rubber inside Must have failed inside and then cooked the cush part up front. My question Can I drive it till I can fix it ??? Thanks you
the Raven MTB Yes!
Thank You. Wish you were closer
2016 Sprinter 2500 - a/c works but it blows weak... the passenger a/c works strong and blows great. Any ideas for weak blow? Outside is 85-100 degrees but the cooling effect is wimpy and the blow is super low... regular fan air blows as expected. Heat blows hard too... Awesome video btw.
@dougsillers it sounds like you have an actuator problem, your mode actuator under the dash might be failing!
Can you do a video on how to replace the evaporator in the ac system for the sprinter please. Cheers, Jason
Leap Ahead Driving School Sure, I will do it when that kind of project comes around!!
Fantastic
Nab S Thank you!!!
Do you also need to replace the drier or anything else? I have a bad clutch on my compressor on my 2014 2.1 liter 4cyl. Mercedes Sprinter. I have a new compressor but not sure what else I need to replace. Thank you.
dukehaulatgmail you should replace the drier also!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_RepairI still have some pressure in the system so I wasn't sure if I could just quickly switch the compressor without doing the drier. Or if I need to vacuum down the system completely and replace drier and compressor. If oil in old compressor looks good, should I replace expansion valve or anything else or just compressor and drier? Then just recharge and that's it? Thank you!
@@dukehaulatgmail7728 you don't need to replace the expansion valve, drier and compressor you should be good to go, assuming everything else is good!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Thank you so much!
@@dukehaulatgmail7728 My Pleasure!!
hi i have no or very little voltage at back probed connector .... 2007 vito with variable compressor , checked for gas seems has gas , why no power to single wire
raymond rixon check the wiring! you might have an open wire or high resistence in the wire! if the compressor is controlled by a relay, check the relay also!
if it's a sprinter like the one on the video, the problem might be the wiring or bad computer since this compressor is controlled by the PCM
Great video!!
I have a 2008 3500 with a single compressor and the AC doesn’t work either. Should I go ahead with my oscilloscope and check for a command from the computer as you did?
@dionysiospsarris1613 Yes!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thank you for replying!
Assuming I give 12V to compressor, should it start, if it’s not defective, regardless of the pulse command needed from the computer?
That would be easier to do before the test with the oscilloscope because it’s a bench unit like a small suitcase and wouldn’t be easy to move around,
@@dionysiospsarris1613 Don't give it full power and ground you can damage the compressor if it's still good!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair ok thanks!
My diesel Mercedes compressor just died. Started rattling and making horrible noise and no longer cooled. Should I replace the condenser and expansion valve at the same time?
Rob Evans Yes!
Hello brother just want to ask you set your scope in voltage???
Joel Sarmiento Aresgado Yes I did!
What happens when the car ac system equipped with variable displacement compressor , the variable displacement compressor is swapped with fixed displacement compressor?
Nelson Aspismas changing the type of ac compressor will alter the system's performance
I was wondering if you just replaced the old one with a new one
Didn't you clean the piping, condenser and radiator from the inside?
sam kelvin NO! if your compressor is defective, repalce it with the drier and you'll be fine!
Question. 11 miles after replacing my only compressor on 2007 Sprinter 2500, 201k miles, and kept up on all maintenance all the way, my turbo started making metal on metal grinding sounds. So question is did I miss an oiling issue replacing my air compressor unit or is this just another issue I need to deal with? Well obviously I have to deal with it but could I have caused it when I replaced the unit on my truck? There’s a lot about the oiling in this truck, being an sad American shade tree mechanic, that I probably need to figure out yet. I’d still like to know. Thank you Brother
Sharpening Man it sounds like you goat another issue, your turbo is probably going out!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thank you for responding so quickly. Is this something I could do under a tree Outback? Or better to have a professional? Don’t suppose you will make a video of how to do it? You’re awesome btw
@@sharpeningman9481 I would recommend taking it to a professional Mechanic!
If I replace the compressor myself, do I need to evacuate the refrigerate first?
Anthony Chaboya Yes! You will have to go to a shop that has an AC Machine so they recover the refrigerant for you!
cool 👍
@Techsoft-j2c Thanks!
checked a sprinter and the compressor was working fine but the condenser was leaking, after replacing the condenser recharged with the right amount of refrigerant but the compressor did not make pressure any more. No error codes on hvac, pressure sensor shows the right pressure , but no voltage on the red wire of the compressor valve. Anybody could help me ?
Peter Zoltan try to turn on the AC Compressor manually and see what happens!
Thank you for the answer, I found that the positive wire pin was not making good contact in the socket and this is why the ac control module was not engaging the compressor
Is control valve o selenoid replaceable on that compressor?
Norgel Almaguer yes you can replace it
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair so. No need to replace the whole compressor? Thanks
@@noralm4785 My Pleasure!!
Steps of balancing appropriate oil quantity foe the system
Nelson Aspismas thanks!!
How about how much does it cost to replace The compressor?
Job Herrera I'm not really sure, it depends on shop hourly rate, if you email me I can tell you how much we charge per hour!!

@bobyang3350 Thanks!
Hmmm. I'm a bit confused. I have a 2008 Freightliner 2500 Sprinter. I was searching for videos that explained the climate controls. I see you pushed the a/c button in this video (red light on). However, other people say that when the red light is on, the a/c is actually off. Like this video for example: th-cam.com/video/1dgaIQOaR5Q/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Please advise
@Yet1 you push the ac button to turn on the AC
My 2020 sprinter has been in the shop more than on the road 😰
La La That's too Bad!!
The AC in these is trash. Mine has always been a problem -- I have a 2015.
@collinporterfield102 always use OEM AC components on these vans!
