    I have seen other videos where they said you need to add oil to the new compressor, too. Iknow the compressor comes with around 3 oz inside, but is it necessary to add at least another 2 oz can?

    A system low on refrigerant would not allow compressor to engage as well. Excellent video troubleshooting. The only thing I would've done is purge the yellow line once removed from vacuum as it has outside air. Use Schrader valve to purge air out before adding to low side. Nice job

      Is it really that simple? The AC on my 2018 ELANTRA started blowing hot air two weeks ago plus the sensor that reads the outside temperature stop working because the dash no longer displays the outside temperature. Plus the AC button on the climate control has been flashing often on like the compressor is trying to kick on but it’s not.

No AC, no Compressor engagement.... could it just be that i'm low on freon? I'll add some and see if it kicks in.

    Hi brother thanks for your videos I'm a subscriber.
    Question please...
    I have a 1995 Lexus LS 400.
    The radiator fan is not activating.
    It does work because i tested it.
    I disconnected the connector that's connected to the ac receiver drier and the radiator fan turns on and stays on continuously the whole time.
    But when I reconnect the connector the radiator fan turns off.
    I'm trying to fix the fan so that it turns on when I turn on my air conditioner but the fan does not turn on when I turn on the AC.
    I feel like it has something to do with that connection but I'm not sure.
    Do you think I might have a bad sensor that's connected to the receiver drier?
    Thanks.
    Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.

    I’m having a similar problem. I’ll completely empty the system and when I try to fill it it’ll literally say it’s completely full after barely putting anything in. So I’m assuming there’s a blockage somewhere. Not sure if there’s a more common place to check for blockages. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Btw I’ve already checked all fuses/ relays. I also checked high side pressure switch which happened to not be closed. Thought I figured it out. Replaced that and it’s still not closing. So I’m not getting enough pressure on high side for switch to close even tho when I put gauge on it says it’s completely filled. Any info would be appreciated!

      is the compressor it self wrecked?
      is it computer wrong out put to AC system??

      @@vazquezraul84 that’s really weird that when you disconnect the pressure switch that the clutch engages. Usually that only works if you jump the switch, closing the circuit.

    Took my car to AAA Auto Repair Center on Tully Rd in San Jose to repair the air conditioning. They told me that the compressor was bad (which I had already figured out since it had a frozen clutch..couldn't push it in by hand while engine was off). I know compressors cost about $300 but they were going to charge me over $1500 to replace it. Then, later, they called me and said they would have to also replace the receiver drier and that would cost another $400 or so. So, after I went back to pick up the car, I looked under the hood and saw a nice shiny new compressor but couldn't see the receiver drier until I got home. Turns out that the receiver drier is like welded to the side of the condenser and has a plug on the bottom that needs to be removed in order to insert a cloth-like cylindrical shaped tampon-looking "drier" that takes moisture out of the system. That's all they did...and they charged me over $1900. The drier "tampon" can be bought at auto stores for from $15 to $35. And the compressor can be bought for about $300. My car is a 2014 Hyundai Tucson. Once you take off the splash panel under the engine of the car and look up at the bottom of the "condenser", on the driver's side of the vehicle, you can see and access the "receiver drier" plug to remove an then to insert the "tampon". I couldn't drain the coolant into a collector before removing those parts so I had to have all this work done by "professionals". Funny, not, how the government will fine you big bucks if you let the coolant escape which helps contribute to global warming but they have no problem sabotaging gas pipelines like the Nordstream pipeline which belched tons of gas into the atmosphere for many days! It's no wonder we are having high, record, temperatures. Wars don't help either. Same thing happened after WWI and WWII..record high temperatures worldwide! Thanks a lot Putin...you son of a b...!!! Putin needs a "b" to the head!!!
