ive over spent on mechanics giving bad advise on my 2000 silverado. I just spent over 5k on my truck. 3k at one auto place and 2k at another place. Still having problems with brakes and oil leaks. Now my ac isn't working and im giving youtube a try before I spend another thousand dollars to get that fixed. Glad I dont have a truck payment but maybe I need one to get away from all these problems...
Thank you. This is the reason why my car air conditioner does not cool. No one exposes this reason, except after watching this video. Thank you very much.
Thanks for this. This is exactly what happened today to my 2010 colorado. I found that gear through the glove box and saw exactly what you have in your video. I was worried that it was going to be a chore to get this fixed. I could take it to a dealer and file a warranty on it but given the simplicity of the fix, I will try this myself.
@WhoSaidTyler I don't really have a problem, I'm just amazed how easy that fix was. I'm sure the mechanic could easily charge the person for more than what was required. :)
I like this kind of videos of get to the point doing it fixing it right on good explanation and get to the point right away and got it all done like I hope that's my problem my car cuz it's blowing hot air 2
Don't forget to fill your engine radiator! Some vehicles have a failsafe cooling system that shuts off a.c. when coolant gets low,to keep your engine from overheating! That fixed my 1992 Silverado.
Leon Turner hey buddy I might have the same problem with my 1999 Chevy 1500 motor 4.3 I recently put a new AC compressor and I clean them all the horses and I just purchased a new AC condenser and still blowing hot air when I put two cans of freon one of the first one he blows a bit cold when I go to the second one and start started blowing hot air and the temp that the gauges are super high like if I were to pull a lot of Freon but I just put one or two bottle
Can any one help my ac pumps hot air. Compressor and clutch turns on and all relays are working . but still no ac and. ac hose near where the fill valve is its hot always .
@@javierrodriguez7070 Did you ever figure your issue? I’m having trouble with mine blowing warm at all times and fuses,relays and compressor are working fine
my low side line feels warm instead of cold as it should. I put some refrigerant in the system and it shows that it is practically full with no leaks(that i can find so far anyway). I am not sure if my temperature control switch is cable or vacuum operated but Ive tried everything else this is worth a try.
Thanks realfixesrealfast. I have a 2012 Chevy Colorado that gave me full hot even with the a/c on. Before the truck warmed up, the a/c work. Thinking the worst I was planning on tearing my whole dash apart to get to the blend box(replacing it). Glad it was a ten minute fix.
Is a 1997 k100 the same set up?,, I have a 1997 chevy k1500 that is blowing hot air when a/c/ is on,, I have to by pass the heater core in the summer to use a/c and then hook heater core back up in cold weather to use heat.
@mrjost55 You are right. Shop owners should provide vehicle owners a service bay and tools and guidance, all for free and let them see if they can fix it themselves. The owner is probably out an hour labor fee at most, instead of the fee for R&R a compressor or evaporator, system evacuate and recharge, so what's your problem?
Thanks Realfixesrealfast.... great information.... will this apply to an 07 as well? I have problems with my a/c. turn my a/c on, it turns off within 5 sec... on/off... i was told that it has pressure and freon. if it is jumped from the relay, it freezes from the firewall to the orifice tube.
yeah i'll just bring to you lol in my town they would stick me 2000 or more i've been charged 1800 for a job and all they did was changed a speed sensor they said i had a stretch timing chain never said it on the receipt or the carfax report so they got me that why i been doing my own oil changes and spark plugs and coils and sensors myself. now i'm working on my a/c lol thanks for being honest
2000 Chevy s10 6 cyl. AC runs fine till I stop and park the truck for 30 minutes. Then wont get cold when I restart. Compressor isnt runing when I restart.
having an issues with my ac. A/C is charged a and compressor is kicking in and hooked up gages seems to be running all fine but inside cab is not getting cold air just replaced resister and blower motor air in car just feels like it is blowing the air from the out side to the inside with A/C on this is an 01 chevy Silverado 1500 4.8
hi I have a toyota corolla ce 2008 the a/c was working perfect I was checking the lines the low side port had a leak so I change both core valve and added a little oil in the system so it isn't cooling like before what should I do before use to go down to 32 on the gauge on the vents inside the car now is going up to 45 when I stop on a red light
I have a 2007 Silverado 1500 far as I know from 04-07 AC resistor problems if you know your a_c was working fine it's going to probably be the resister check that first it's located where your blower fan is its on the passenger side, you will see a wire harness going to the plastic blower tube, unscrew the usually to screws, pull it out you might see it burnt you might not the wire usually will look melted unplug the harness and look inside where it plugs into you should see a couple prongs melted with the plastic this will usually be a problem if your heater comes on and you have your AC on don't go to Chevy dealers you will pay 50 for each I went to o'reillys and got both of them 64 dollars don't just get a resistor if the plug is melted a little bit you will have problems with it later anyways get both don't be cheap
What if my compressor clutch engage but after a minute or so cuts off? It will come back on shortly after but cuts back off within seconds. Should their be any voltage at the low pressure switch? If so I do not have any come to it.
CHEAP FI X FOR THE REPAIR I found out that restarting my truck reset the system and it then would again work properly. This caused me to realize it was an electrical problem. I found a ten amp fuse under the hood marked HVC-ECAS, varified pulling it shut off the ac light under the ac control inside. I lifted the fuse panel, cut the wire to the fuse, soldered two wires to the two ends, brought them inside and to a NC button that now serves as a reset button. IT WORKS GREAT! Cheap repair.
I have a 1998 chevy silverado that has a brand new compressor and I have a perfect clutch engage and also I have a new drier and condenser and a orifice tube remplace, but unlike in your video where one tube is hot and one is cold, both of my tubes are hot and the drier never gets cold. What can I do?
Great video... I have a 1998 chevy 1500 express van and its blowing hot air when I drive it and when I stop at a stop light it starts blowing cold air ... when I start driving again it starts blowing hot air again... what the...?
My issue is the chipmunks stuffed the blower motor and cabin filter space full of seeds,.fiber glass insulation and the resistor for the blower motor was contaminated also. Cleaned it all out, replaces blower, and resistor, and the dang chipmunk appears while im driving
What about a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado? It blows hot air, compressor is working but it won’t blow cold air. When I fill up with the ac refrigerant the can doesn’t turn cold. What could be the problem?
I LIKE YOUR VIDEO, MY WIFE'S 2006 TAHOE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY 2006 GMC SIERRA 4X4 MY WINDOW ON MY DRIVER SIDE DON'T ROLL DOWN I HAVE POWER GOING TO THE SWITCH ANY SUGGESTIONS, I'M ALSO LOOKING FOR A CONSOLE FOR MY 1967 IMPALA SS OR ANY PART'S.
I have a 02 Silverado 2500hd and I took it in for Ac work due to I was told that the AC clutch was bad. I had mechanic check it out and he replaced the compressor, condenser, flushed it & new valves I believe. I still have hot air blowing and he's telling me that me that the cause is that my trucks to lifted and the fan that in front isn't cooling down the return air? He removed my stock fan & put in some used dual fan but I was told new but I played along with it. Now my truck is over heating & the AC is still not working & blowing hot air. I was told $600 for everything but now I'm up to $1000 on just AC work that not even working right. The rucks over heating, no AC and I have some ugly used dual fan that wired like crap to a switch inside that I have to turn on & off manually he said? He still has my truck but I'm taking it back & I might take a legal matter not since not my truck has more issues then when it went in. All this for HOT air!!!
i have issues with my 2015 chevy sonic 1.8 LT, my A/C is blowing warm, and hot then slightly cool but not cold! I found out GMC issued a Recall as of today 07-22-2016. i was told the A/C condensor but theyare going to find out and do some more tests. This car has been nothing but problems with the A/C it was replaced 2xs aready.
Yeah its back at the deelership they still cant figure out the problem. Only blows cool if it rains. It stoped raining so mabe they can figure out the problem. My cars been their for 2 weeks this time. But the 3rd time over all.
I bought the car in June 2016. And its been close to 2 and half months and only driven the car 2 weeks out of that time. Iv had 2 loaner cars and the 1st loaner had the same issue with ac and i took it back.
I got Malibu 2003 only blows hot air wonder if this has the same system Its still winter but summer is coming soon. Note I did start checking my fuses first
+Ritchiemomitchie It works now heat and cool air I hAd to turn on and off fan button. Also had a blowout on a fuse . I urge people to check your fuses first if something is not working.
Ok I have a problem with my 2006 dodge charger . My a/c work but it's not cooling the way it supposed to even with freon in it . I just find out that the lower vent the one which conduct the air for the back seat blows hot air when a/c on ... Any ideas ?
Hey, just wanted to thank you for the video. This is exactly what was wrong with the A/C on my 2010 Colorado Crew Cab. I followed the instructions on the video & in 20 minutes, I was back to enjoying my A/C again. Is there any solution if this continues to be a problem (ie: the gear continues to pop up)?

Some low down mechanic would have lied and sold the owner a new compressor plus labor. God bless all honest mechanics. I like your vids.

awesome great work, I like the way you explain everthing very well. thank you
Great video, thank you! I figured out how to get the gear in place but had no idea what I was supposed to do with that wire.
Great video I like the idea of checking the high and low pressure lines and the way you do your troubleshooting. Have a great day.
really well shot video, I like that I could see everything you did, thanks

Unbelievable how there is no quality in today's new vehicles. Designed to break and be thrown away.
had the same prob with my 85 silv it was the vacumn line sittin right above the distributor on the fire wall,the vac lines was old and cracked
