    AC issues

    I had found it, thank you. That manual is the first place I usually look when I need to find something. I finally found it when I looked in the right section :cool:

    AC issues

    Update: Finally a warm enough day to get this stuff done. Had the system evacuated and decided to pull a vacuum first to see if the system would hold, which it did. Replacing the AC compressor, drier and condenser as we speak. Pulled the old compressor and the wiring seems suspect. Emptied out...

    AC issues

    Had me nervous about jumpering the relay to engage the clutch, and then adding the refrigerant. If you say it's safe, I'll try it out.

    AC issues

    Update: Put the car in on position (not started) attached can of refrigerant and the gauge read low. Added some to move the gauge up. Plugged in dccv and a new fuse and started the car. Compressor not spinning. Fuse blew instantly. Tried again, same result

    O Ok. So scratch the initial vacuum, and just go ahead straight to adding a can. Then proceed to check for leaks and continue thru the rest of the plan?

    So would this work; -Pull vacuum and add a little refrigerant. -Check for leaks via UV. -Professionally have system evacuated -Replace parts -Check wiring -Pull vacuum and add refrigerant Test, Hope everything is good

    AC issues

    Yes, it blows without being jumped. I had jumped it a few months back to see if the clutch would engage, which it did, and then immediately pulled the jumper out. I haven’t done it since, but I’m assuming it will still engage? I guess I’ll have to inspect the wiring, possibly find a diagram to...

    AC issues

    I bought the car almost exactly a year ago. Guy I bought it from has a shop and he charged AC for me. It worked for maybe a couple months. I can’t recall, but I feel like it stopped working around the time I was first behind the radio. Might be completely unrelated to being back there, but I’m...

    AC issues

    With DCCV plugged in, and a fresh fuse, I can start my car it will allow me to adjust temperatures and work, minus cold AC (clutch won’t spin unless I jump relay. And even when I jump relay and clutch spins, still not ice cold). At some point, the fuse will blow. I haven’t figured out how or...

    AC issues

    So if I find the wiring is chafed somewhere, would that cause the compressor to not spin? When I turn the ac on, it does not spin. If I jump the relay, it does turn on. In your book, do you see if any of the wiring is behind the console, where the DATC and radio are?

    Awesome, thank you. Two questions; will pulling a vacuum on it be or any use right now, my order will be here Saturday with my kit. Second, is there a diagram somewhere that has the location of where the wiring runs within the vehicle? 2006 Lincoln LS Thanks again, Joe. Your knowledge is...

    AC issues

    Hey Joe. So I’m not sure if you recall but, I replaced DCCV about 6ish months ago (OEM) and my fuse kept popping/constant hot air. Unplugged DCCV and fuse popped again. So I’m assuming ac compressor? Ac compressor hasn’t been spinning either. Haven’t had a chance to get under the car and check...

    AC issues

    Is there any way to know that the expansion valve is failing/not working properly.

    A/C 10 amp fuse keeps blowing......

    Not sure why but, that made me chuckle. I’ve seen you say a few times how it leaks into the solenoids and shorts it out. I’m trying to understand what that means. Does the hoses running into the dccv leak inside the actual part? Maybe the coolant spray that occurred when the hose burst somehow...

    A/C 10 amp fuse keeps blowing......

    Grabbing fuses on lunch break and will report back. Only other thing I can think of, the upper radiator hose split/burst a hole in the middle hard plastic area where it turns down into the other hose, coolant went everywhere. Not sure if coolant spray on top of the dccv could mess it up? As...
