Where the compressor bolts to the tube running to the inside of your vehicle there are gasket/washers that keep a air tight seal where the tube goes into the compressor, they may be wearing out. it could also be that you need to have the system recharged. i stretched and lost one of the gaskets when i took compressor off before.

Hello;
You probably have a minor leak in your system. It is probably a little low on R134a refrigerant. Have it leak tested and charged and you will be fine.
Thanks;

My a/c in my car in blowing hot air after had a/c checked as gas

Unfortunately you might have a coolant leak, in spite of the A/C inspection. I'd get a second opinion from another mechanic. Have the mechanic check to make sure your condenser is not clogged with dirt, rocks and road grime, preventing the A/C system from cooling properly. Notorious problem for automotive air conditioning.

Check to see that the fuse to the A/C is not blown and that the compressor is cycling on and off as it should. If the the A/C pressure switch was not inspected, it should be inspected and tested for proper operating.

One last thing. Also have the mechanic check the pressure in the A/C system, and that there is sufficient refrigerant in the system.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.

My air condition want' blow out cold air i try

If your car is more than a few years old, it probably has a leak or a worn compressor. You can add too much freon for the system. It needs to be vacuumed down to a negative pressure before adding freon, and then checked for compressor function and leaks. You may need to take it in to a reputable shop.

I just replaced the compressor, it has been

sounds like the first leak was not found . Need to bring it back in. And state that you should'nt have to pay again because it either is a defective replacement or the leak was not in the last compressor that was condemed.

Air conditioning electrical diagram for 2004 kia sedona

I also have a 2004 Kia sedona with approx. 80,000 miles on it. The air conditing system stopped blowing cool air into the car. The fan would work, but would not blow cool air. After doing a lot of research. After trying to find a car repair manual or diagrams for the Kia Sedona with no luck. We ended up taking it to our machanic. He then replaced the compressor and it is working fine now. I now know that this is common for the compressor to go out on this van.

A/c unit won't blow cold air

hi there is a belt that drives the air conditioning compressor it rides on a pulley as does the altenator visually inspect the pullies to make shure there is no belts missing if so replace now there is a relay that engages the compressor and also there is a low pressure switch that determines if there is sufficiant gas pressure in the system if the pressure has dropped re leak in the cooling system then you have no pressure to turn on compressor this would let the air conditioning to not work first check to see if you have airconditioning system pressure by looking into glass sight lens if lense is green its got enough pressure if its not green you need to replace gas inside cooling system good luck with project and keep cool

1994 Hyundai Excel Air conditioning RADIATOR´S FAN works always very fast

this not really a problem as the fan speed is controlled by the high preasure switch in the ac system the hotter it is outside the higher the preassure will be in the system as hot as its been the preasure is high already when the compressor cycles it pulls suction on one side and outputs high preasure on the other the fans cool the condenser the higher the ambient temp the faster they go so all is fine...
