Do you have to evacuate the system first before removing the switch or the there’s a valve there that you unscrew the pressure switch?

@diocuevas1792 Ай бұрын

You don't. There is valve that prevents leaks when replacing the swith

@yeyoyeyo1819 7 ай бұрын

did switching the valve fix your problem or did it end up being something else?

@diocuevas1792 7 ай бұрын

Yes, that was part of the problem. So the valve was faulty, which was sending an incorrect reading about the refrigerant pressure. Once I replaced it, when i checked the pressure of the refrigerant, it was high. So I had drain some of it. Once I got the pressure within the correct range, the a/c worked just fine.

@diocuevas1792 7 ай бұрын

The incorrect reading was that when measured, the refrigerant was showing within the correct range but it was high. And that's why the a/c was not working properly. High pressure will make your compressor act irregular. Once the valve was replaced and the pressure corrected, the compressor ran good and the a/c worked like it should

No era mejor que le verificaras el sensor antes de cambiarle el compresor ? Mi carro está haciendo lo mismo pregunto antes de cambiarle el compresor y verificar el sensor primero

@diocuevas1792 7 ай бұрын

No cambié El compresor. Solo le cambie el switch que ves en el video. El compresor se lo habian puesto nuevo antes de que yo comprara el carro. Cambiando ese switch resolvió mi problema. Ahora enfria todo el tiempo

I think it's best to get a torquing wrench for sparkplugs so that you don't over torque them and have trouble to get them out.

Before replacing the switch, check the pressure in your lines. Simply connect a line with a gauge as if you were going to add more freeon. Because it will do what you are saying when the pressure is not correct. It could be low or high. If it is correct, then replace the switch as shown on the video

@marilynbower1352 Жыл бұрын

Another video I watched said you should disconnect the battery for a minimum of 1 hour before disconnecting and reconnecting the cable. So I investigated that further and found out that there is a very slight chance of deploying the airbag in the SRS. It isn't such a big deal to disconnect the battery, just be sure you move the seat forward to access the bolts first. The battery is under the spare tire.
