I'm entirely new to this site so if I am violating some terms of service or if this topic belongs in another thread sorry and feel free to lock. My 2001 Ford Escort 2L (regular model) hasn't put out cold air from the A/C in a long time. I've taken it to several mechanics and they all have said it didn't need to be recharged and that it was a bad compressor. I went to my favorite mechanic and he switched out the compressor twice with new ones. Both new compressors wouldn't even let the car start for whatever reason, that's just what he told me. He said to take it to car A/C experts as it was above his expertise. He put the old compressor that works but doesn't put out cold air. What could this issue be? Why would two separate compressors not work?

No matter. You'll either have to get real serious and post tons more info about observations, how you charged it up, and what was wrong with the old compressor. Many condensers don't flush debris out so must be replaced. If you don't have the equipment or can rent it for more info on this I strongly suggest sending it out to a pro A/C shop. Mistakes can set you back to square one or worse cost you tons more if all messed up than letting a pro do it, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 12, 2012, 11:22 AM Post #3 of 4 (2546 views) Re: A/C doesn't blow cold air but switched out two compressors and they didn't fix it Sign In To add to this.... There is a whole lot more to repairing a compressor failure than simply dropping a new compressor on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

OMG - locked up right away with oil or what's with that? If that meant compressor engaged and locked something's wildly wrong with the way it was installed as it should have been spun off the car before hand. Your "favorite" mechanic and may be excellent did say to send it out which we are. Try to get some feel for how much $$ as best they can as it could exceed the car's value depending on what is found, 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
