Casper Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee's A/C is all fucked up. I took it to a shop. They verified the compressor was blown. I knew this already. They replaced it. Now the compressor works, but still no cold air. Its holding a charge. Yesterday, it started blowing "steam" or "fog" or something smoke like out of the vents when the A/C is on. It blows colder than outside air, but not cold. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm not great with A/C but, what shop did you go to? If they over charged the system, the compressor will not kick on. If they just serviced the system, they should take care of any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 might be freezing up check the condesation drain and make sure its not blocked up I have a set of guages at home if you want me to check the pressures and stuff lemme know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 bland door motor could be stuck. could be may things tho. doing a a/c compressor and charge. and if it dont blow cold , it should have not left that shop. till the next issue was fixxed. could be as simple as a reset of the a/c controls. is it auto air? is it dual zone?

craig71188 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Also, if they just slapped on a compressor (and the old one had a major internal failure), it's very possible the condenser is full of shrapnel from the old compressor (even if they flushed the system) and will need replaced also. Temp testing the system is the only definitive way to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 expansion valve could be screwed or like dave said, could be over charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 expansion valve could be screwed or like dave said, could be over charged All true - would like to see the work order and know what was really done - and the actual condition of the compressor that came off. At this point it's just guesswork. One would think a competant a/c shop would make it right and/or wouldn't have shipped it in the first place.

craig71188 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 thats what i was saying in my first post. And I agree - I work for Four Seasons - sell the line, do a ton of training for them and handle warranty. If I could just get more shops to do the complete job the right way in the first place, they'd make money, we'd make money and people would have a/c that worked right the first time. Yea, more will be pissed about the cost the first time, but it's better than being pissed off over and over until they get ti right and you've still piad just as much and wasted a lot more time (and probably cost me money for the "rental parts" to diagnose it)!

Dave1647545494 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 bwahahaha depends on why the compressor failed if it just ate the clutch and a complete reman is cheaper than changing the clutch or if the cmpressor is just leaking at the seam I'm not going to make some poor bastard buy all that extra shit.....
