How to Fix Your Car's Air Conditioner

  • A faulty automotive air conditioner can be one of
    the more difficult issues to diagnose and repair.
    The first thing you should look for are signs of
    leaking or an A/C compressor that does not
    engage. If the air conditioning system requires
    substantial repairs, you may not have the
    equipment necessary to conduct those repairs at
    home. If it is low on refrigerant, however, you
    can recharge it using a recharge kit you can
    purchase at a local auto parts store.

Identifying the Issue
  • Start the vehicle and turn on the air
    conditioner. 
  • Use the key to start the car and turn the air
    conditioner on high. Feel the air coming out of
    the air conditioner and assess how warm, cool, or
    cold it is. If the air is warm to cool, but not
    cold as it should be, there may be an issue with
    air flow.1Check to see if the cooling fans on
    your radiator are running. If they are not, there
    may be an electrical issue.
  • You may need to replace the cabin air filter in
    your vehicle to increase air flow.

  • Look to see if the A/C compressor is running
  • You will need to ensure the air conditioner
    compressor is working to determine the correct
    course of action to make repairs if necessary.
    Locate the air conditioner in the engine bay and
    look to see if the center of the pulley is
    turning along with the pulley itself.
  • There is a clutch that engages when the air
    conditioner is working. With the clutch engaged,
    the middle of the pulley will rotate along with
    the pulley itself.
  • If the clutch does not engage, the A/C compressor
    may be broken and require replacement or it may
    just need to be filled with refrigerant.

  • Check the wiring leading to the A/C compressor.
  • Most compressors have a wire leading to the
    electric clutch. Find the connector in the middle
    of that wire, and unplug it. Take a length of
    wire and run it from the compressor's wire to the
    positive () terminal of your battery. If you
    hear a loud CLACK, the electric clutch is
    functioning properly. If not, it will need to be
    replaced.
  • Replacing your A/C compressor may require
    specialized tools.
  • Bring your vehicle in for repairs if the
    compressor or clutch needs to be replaced.

  • Look for leaks in the air conditioning
    system. You can purchase leak detection kits to
    help you identify any leaks in your air
    conditioning system. These kits provide a dye
    that will run through the lines and seep out of
    any leaks or cracks, making them visible to the
    naked eye.4Connect the leak detection can to
    the low side service port and spray it into the
    air conditioning system.
  • If you spot any leaks, you will need to take the
    vehicle in for repairs.
  • If you do not spot any leaks, the problem may
    simply be low refrigerant
