a/c problem


Recommended Posts

my Concours dies when i put the ac on...im thinking it the bearings on the pump but im not for sure. Before this it was still blowing cold air so i dont think it is the actual pump. what do you guys think... also it was making that "rattling" noise. if it the bearings what does it intail to change them. and which ones.

Take the serpentine belt off and attempt to turn the A/C clutch by hand. Be sure not to just spin the pulley - grip the clutch face and attempt to turn the clutch. Some resistance will be normal but you should be able to turn it by hand. If you can't budge the clutch, it's time for a new compressor.

If compressor replacement is required, I would pull the orifice tube and inspect the screen. If you find metal shavings, a total system flush is in order as well as a new accumulator.

You should be able to turn the compressor clutch (to check if the internals are seized) without having to remove the drive belt.
