2001 dodge ram ac problems
2001 dodge ram ac problems Long story short 01 ram 5.9 blows hot air thought it needed charged hook up refrigerant can and the gauge is off the charts it reads like 110 psi which is in the warning area its supposed to be like 55psi.. this was with truck on, max ac on and on the low port of the system.... im burning up help lol
With the system off and full both pressures equal out. 110 is about right with the system off. Inop ac isn't always a refrigerant problem. Not trying to be rude but if you don't understand how ac works do yourself a favor and pay someone to diagnose it for you
The thing I hate about the cans you can buy at any parts store is if your system is so low the ac compressor isn't engaging then you probably have a leak and simply recharging it won't fix it. Any thing claiming to have some kind of stop leak in it is garbage IMO and I would never put in a vehicle. If the system is completely empty then there is air in it and you need to pull a vacuum on it before recharging.
What do u mean by the system off i stated it was on high while tryin to add it.

As far as 110 being too high for static pressure, I had to look up a chart but 93 degree is about where you'd see 110 psi, but even if it were much colder outside the engine bay could be way hotter than ambient air

Verdad Gallardo No problem. If the clutch is not engaging and low side pressure was that high then it's an electrical problem. Even if your charge was low but had enough to read that much pressure the clutch would come on and kick back off and cycle kinda fast like that. If I remember right those compressor clutches have 2 wires, power and ground (some only have a power wire and ground through the case). If it's not engaging check power and ground at the clutch and we can go from there.
Well the clutch is not engaging at all I checked the fuse and it was blown so I replaced it still nada.... If the clutch Locked up ir went out would that cause the fuse to blow?
Yes it spins by hand not the relay either so I'm guessing the clutch is out guess ill just go ahead and get the whole assembly
