I have a 95 chevy cheyenne. My ac pump doesn't

Have you checked to see if the system has enough freon ?
If the system is low or empty the low pressure switch will prevent power from going to the compressor clutch.

2003 mini cooper AC compressor doesn't run

The compressor will last a lot longer. Your problem is a very slow Freon/refrigerant leak from when the compressor was replaced. If you wish, you could put in a canister or 2 of refrigerant from an auto parts store, as a kit with the re-fill line, to make it work for a while. But eventually you're going to want someone to find that leak and repair it. Best of luck my friend.

Kia rio 2002 air conditioning problems, Hi, currently my air conditioning just doesn't start at all, it was working properly and suddenly witout a warning it' just stopped working. It does not work...

If the AC compressor is kicking in and out then you are probably low on freon. If the Compressor isn't kicking in at all then the problem could be a fuse or relay in the Power distribution box or the fuse in the interior of the car. If the fuse and relays are good then the problem could be a bad clutch on the compressor or a bad compressor itself. If the compressor is kicking in and out then get a freon refill can from Walmart or an Auto parts store and add freon to the system until the compressor kicks in continuously.

Hi, I have an amana ap125hd portable air conditioner and for some reason is doesn't produce cold air anymore. Then fan blows and the compressor kicks in, but to no avail, no cold air. I took the unit...

replace it,most likely the freon leaked out,if the compressor is running and the fan is blowing but not getting cold most likely you have a leak in the sealed system.

The maytag skybox doesn't get cold anymore. we had it outside for a while (we didn't realize you couldn't have it outside) & it worked great all last summer. this spring, we realized it...

First you need to find out if the compressor is kicking on or not. If it isn't then it could be the starting capacitor (item 23), start relay (item 7) or the compressor itself. Since you had it outside I would suspect the capacitor or relay. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Maytag-Parts/Refrigerator-Parts/Model-MBV1976AAB/3048/0168000/M0510224/00001

Does the skybox make noise (like your refrigerator starting a cycle)? If not, I would unplug it for a short while and let it set. Then when you plug it back up listen for noises on whether the compressor kicks on or not. If it doesn't then you can check the cap and relay board. Or have your compressor checked for operation and freon.
