AC quits in my Hyundai Tucson comes back on after 15-20 minutes

I own a 2005 Hyundai Tucson in which the Ac keeps quiting in. When this happens the defrost, heater and fresh air flow will not work either. After 15-20 minutes it will kick back on and work fine for 15-20 minutes, then it quits again. I took it to my dealer and they can't figure it out, even after they drove it around town and had quit on them. My Tucson only has 18722 miles on it and shouldn't be having problems already. Any HELP will be appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like the dryer is bad, or the filter that goes to the high pressure line. It could also be the pressure switch that goes on the high pressure line comming off the dryer. It has 2 wires that come off of it. It simply screws out and works off of a barring that is pushed by the freon in the system. if its bad or the pressure is low the switch won't work. Usually A/C systems are not hard to work on but they do need special tools, ie a vacume pumb, o rings, special oil, let me know if I can give you any more info

2005 Hyundai Tucson. Which fuse controls the actuator on my 05 Tucson please?

The fuse is in the engine compartment fuse box and is marked 'A/Con'. It looks like a Relay to me and as it doesn't have an amperage, my guess is that it is a relay. The different sites have slightly different variations, but the thing to check first is the relay. You mention 'heater coil', that is on the engine coolant circuit and only provides hot air. The AC compressor system has an 'evaporator' up in the dash and only supplies chilled air. I trust the AC job was done professionally with a Gas Recovery machine to create a moisture free vacuum before adding refrigerant gas. It can't be done at home. I wrote a Fixya Tip on it.

My ac heater and defrost will not work at all in my 2005 Hyundai Tucson new blower motor and resister what else

Hi,

Please check the heater motor and also the thermostat. If those don't work, then this can also lead to your ac/heating system to malfunction as well.

Please use autozone to get a free diagnostic run on your car to get a list of errors. Then, they can tell you which errors are relevant to your ac/heating issue.

Thank you.

2005 Mustang Convertible GT. AC blows cold air for a while then just slowly quits. I've had the refrigerant charged but it still happens.

Sounds like the ac system is freezing up, they are supposed to cycle the compressor on and off the keep the pressures in spec to prevent this but failed cycling switches and or overcharged or undercharged Freon can also cause this. When the ac quits pop the hood and look at the ac lines, is one of them covered in ice? If so it's definitely freezing up. Finding out why is the fun part.

AC starts out fine but stops on my 2005 Hyundai Tucson

Need more info. First thing that comes to mind is low freon or a sticking expansion valve, or a bad clutch. Watch the compressor while it is on and see if the compressor seems to go slower than the belt or it grabs and releases quickly.

Tucson V6 2004 - cause of high tempreture in engine

The simple answer to your question is that the engine cooling system is malfunctioning. The sytem must be properly diagnosed to determine the actual cause. It could be anything from a thermostat that is stuck closed or a cooling fan circuit malfunction, or even a water pump that is coming apart internally.
