  • WHAT AC PRESSURE SWITCH DOES. AC NOT BLOWING COLD
    In this video we will explain what the A/C pressure switch is for and how a bad faulty AC pressure switch may cause your A/C Compressor from engaging and turning on. If the AC pressure switch is bad your A/C System will not blow cold air because the ac compressor will not turn on. The ac pressure switch tells the Engine Computer if there is enough pressure / freon in the system so the compressor can work without problems. In this video we will show you where usually the pressure switch is located and show you what it looks like.

    First off, love the channel, and your easy to understand repairs and methods. THANK YOU AND KEEP THEM COMING. My 2002 Merc Benz S430 (W220) A/C stopped working after I replaced the windshield wiper hose (with the heater wire/ cable inside). The unit small red light is on indicating the system works, but will not blow cold air. The clutch does engage, on then off, constantly. The typical reset feature/ trick doesn't work for whatever this error is currently. I checked the relays/ switched and replaced them as well. Assuming the system may have been low on refrigerant, I filled it with what it took in, which appeared to be almost two full "tall" cans of AC Pro. Reset the system and the air came on "absolutely freezing cold" for about two minutes then shut off again. After resetting and attempting to make it stay on, it wouldn't reset anymore after four attempts. I noticed a clear liquid had leaked from the bottom center of the car down the driveway to the rear of the car, no smell or color, but thicker than water.
    The next day, with the engine running and the air refilled and reset once more, I heard a loud hissing and bursting flow of air or spray from under the hood, front drivers side for about 40 seconds then stopped. I believe it was a pressure relief vale of some sort !!! Scared the &%$#@^& %$#%^&%#@ out of me to be exact. The clutch still engages, on then off, constantly. Whats wrong with the cars AC ????? What would you recommend I check or replace???? No AC for the past four months now...

    The sensor on the skinny line or condenser is the high pressure sensor and the low pressure sensor will be either on the dryer, compressor or on the fat low pressure line itself. I've never seen a system with only 1 sensor like these guys are saying. The low pressure sensor is to keep the compressor from getting ruined due to low refrigerant and the high pressure sensor it so shut off the system for safety if the pressure goes to high.

    In my car, the coolant line literally rests on its pressure switch. So when I turn my cooling fan/AC on sometimes it causes the engine to rev up & down like crazy. I have the AC bypassed now with a shorter fan belt. I'm praying that if I swap the censor out it will fix my issues with it. Anyone every dealt with this? Any advice?

    Could my low pressure switch be failing?

    There was no change.
    Changed my blower motor resistor a couple years ago, so it's not that.
