2003 Silverado A/C Help
I just bought a 2003 Silverado LS with 160,000 miles. The A/C has been giving me fits. Sometimes the compressor will turn on sometimes it won't. The A/C button in the cab is sticky but the light on the button comes on every time I push the button to turn on and turns off when I turn it off. It seems to turn on when the truck is cool but if you shut the truck off and turn it back on when its hot (with the A/C button still on) the compressor won't kick on. I put some hoses on it and took pressure readings but I'm not sure what they should be. See below. Ambient temperature was in the low 90's. I ran it for about 10 minutes and the compressor never cycled.
Engine RPM: Idle 600 Low side PSIg: 62 High side PSIg: 320 Cooled Interior Air Temp F:66 Engine RPM: 1500 Low side PSIg: 290 High side PSIg: 45 Cooled Interior Air Temp F:56 Engine RPM: 2000 Low side PSIg: 45 High side PSIg: 280 Cooled Interior Air Temp F:58 I tried to jump the low side pressure switch when the compressor wouldn't turn on and it still didn't turn on. I havent tried to jump the high side switch. Any thoughts on what it could be? |
