This thing just quit working, and I noticed that the compressor was not kicking in. I unplugged the low pressure switch and jumped it just to see if the symptoms would change. The compressor would then kick in. My question is ..... does this mean the switch is bad? or could this be due to a low freon type of scenario? This truck has never had a problem until this popped up. Thanks! way2old Veteran / Moderator Feb 28, 2007, 4:27 PM Post #2 of 4 (1478 views) Re: 04 Chevy 1500HD a/c question Sign In Either one will cause it. If it was working OK and suddenly quit, look to the pressure switch. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Swooshski User Mar 28, 2007, 7:39 AM Post #3 of 4 (1443 views) Re: 04 Chevy 1500HD a/c question Sign In I finally found the problem .... a nail about 3 inches long had apparently found it's way through the grill just perfectly and pierced the condensing coils mounted behind it. Evidently the impact was enough to cause a very very small crack/leak and left the nail embedded in the coil like an arrow in a target. Question ...... can this aluminum coil be repaired? Soldered or welded? Or is it best to replace with new/used unit?

You could ask a specialty shop for welding but most folks just get a new part, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
