First, check the relay and fuse for the A/C compressor/clutch. Then have the system pressure checked. I've seen systems run low and the compressor will not kick on.

Tap the clutch with a hammer lightly while a/c is on full blast. If it still doesnt engage its time for a new one. Future reference in the winter keep your heat on defrost some of the time, it activates your clutch in the A/C compressor so the bearings wont seize when you go to turn it on, on a hot day.

I recently had the same issue, but my airbag warning lights also turned on. If this is the case, it might be the clockspring. There is a recall on clocksprings for Caravans 1998 - 2000 I believe. I got it replaced for free in the dealership. Enter your VIN in this site and it will tell you if you are covered in the free replacement warranty.

Hope this helps.

you should be adding the 134a to the system the low pressure switch is doing its job by not allowing the compressor to kick on, it wont kick on until there is enough 134a in the system to be above the preset pressure for the low pressure switch.

SOURCE: My 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan left rear powered vent isn't working.

IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT THE POWER VENT WINDOW.IT MAY BE HYPER EXTENDED LIKE A KNEE OR ELBOW.TRY TAKING A SCREWDRIVER FROM THE OUTSIDE AND PUSHING THE HINGE INWARD JUST ENOUGH TO LET THE MOTOR WORK IT CLOSED.IF THE MOTOR ITSELF ISN'T WORKING PUSH THE HINGE JUST PAST CENTER THEN USE YOUR HAND TO CLOSE THE WINDOW PUSHING IT CLOSED WERE THE MOUNT IS UNTIL YOU CAN GET A NEW MOTOR.HOPE THIS HELPS

Replacing a/c compressor or cluth on 96 dodge caaravan 3.8

IF the clutch is not engaging it may be due to the Freon being low. There is a low limit switch on the AC system. You can verify that by checking the pressure, or using a meter to check the clutch.

Compressor on 96 dodge caravan will not start even after charging system with freon. does computer have to be reset

check for bad fuse under hood. also check for ac relay issue. also under hood . you will find a power dis. center under the hood. (just like a fuse panel)the system does use pressure switches, but check the fuse and relay first. if you have power and ground at the compressor and it does not engage, then the ac clutch is bad. you can check that at the two wires at ac compressor w/ a test light.

Can you disconnect the ac unit on a 2005 Dodge Grand caravan

Sure you can if the AC clutch is not frozen and the AC pulley moves freely then all you need to do is to unplug the electrical connector from the AC Compressor

What would be wrong with a 99 caravan if the ac stopped working suddenly?

either the clutch on the pump went out or the system has no freon left.

AC Compressor is not coming on in our 2006 grand caravan could it be a fuse and if so which one

I'd bet money it's your Rear Evaporator, located behind the back right tire. Mine just went out, which cost $200 to discover, followed by $811 to replace. My co-worker has the same vehicle, and had the same exact problem six months prior. If you google search for "06 grand caravan evaporator" you'll find similar posts. And it's not a recalled item, as of this writing.

First suggestion is the clutch not engaging. Check voltage at clutch plug and confirm power source, if there is power there then clutch would work unless it has failed.
