A/C issue

All of a sudden I have no cold air blowing from my A/C. Compressor is working and I don't see anything broken or missing. All dash controls working. I have a weird smell in the cab. I did a quick recharge with the auto store recharge kits but after about an hour or so its leaking out somewhere. I think it might be the evap. Does anyone know where the drain hose is for the condensation is so I can put a sniffer in there?? Thanks

 

Had this happen to me a few months ago AC stopped blowin cold, turned out that a squirrel had chewed the wires coming out of the firewall into the engine bay. I only mention the AC not working is what alerted me to the bigger problem once I popped the hood to have a look around.

Btw when I popped the hood a squirrel jump up then down out of the engine bay, lol. I tried to grab it but the little guy was faster. I guess it worked out I was slower, saved me some rabies shots. LOL.


Good luck solving your AC issue.

 

If you have a halogen leak detector just stick it in a vent and it will tell you if you have a leak from the evaporator. I would take it to a specialist,they have the proper equipment to check for leaks and to repair.

good luck,john

 

found it

 

awesome! Hope it was an easy find/fix for you.

 

ok so I did a dye test on the system and can not find any leaks. Where the hell did the freon go? Only thing I can think of is the evaporator and there is no easy way to get to it at all. Like I said in previous post, the cab did smell weird when this all started.

 

Well took it this morning for a professional look. Need an evaporator core. Between 1700 and 2500 for the job. Guess who will never have AC again, this guy.

 

how did you figure out it was evaporator?

 

No warranty left?
