My ac belt was snapped, thank you for this video. If your AC suddenly fails rather than a gradual decline, this video is on the money.

2004 Suburban 1500 LT WHERE IS THE A/C low side service port ?

[@arianduran1725]

Left fire wall , in between transmission dip stick fender side. Top side by the can dryer . It's the same or similar in 2000-2013 you can see The hose . Always replace the valve stem+ orifice tube. $15💵total

2000 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT, AC was blowing cold, My blower motor ramped all the way up to high and the air started blowing warm out of the defrost vents. I smelled an electrical smell in the truck cab. Now the blower motor is always on high when the truck is on, The blower motor will stop blowing when I turn the truck off. The AC control panel will not do anything. All AC fuses are good, 2 inside the cab by the driver door and one in the electrical center under the hood. I pulled the blower motor resistor and I don't see anything burned or any bulging caps on it. My truck does not have the fan control that says OFF, 1,2,3, 4, 5. Mine has hash marks and about 20 positions on the fan speed dial. Any suggestions?

So is yours all manual controls and not digital? If it’s manual then try adjusting it by hand behind the climate control. If it’s digital, pull the battery cables and let everything reset.

Try under the glove box

[@Nana-ff4zv]

There is a controller for the air blower under there replace it

[@Nana-ff4zv]

Even if it looks fine replace it

[@Actrealsurprised]

It’s the resistor. They are common to go out. Default aka full power is the only setting it doesn’t have to resist power down to. To slow the motor down. It’s like 50 bucks. Right next to your blower on the passenger side foot board under the glove box

[@Alpha-Works-Tx]

Prices have gone up on parts as with everything else it seems. You can still buy the parts and fix this issue for less than 50 bucks.

Summary Check Belt and Tensioner - In order to replace A/C belt you will first need to remove main serpentine belt - The End Oh and Reset your A/C system whatever that means... I am assuming he means suck down and refrigerant in system, put system in a vacuum, and fill to proper levels per your tag under the hood.

I have a 2003 suburban. Rear AC blowing cold but front blowing normal air temp. Can’t figure out. Just filled AC and shows charged. Thanks

[@carsunlimited4397]

​@DjStalin100 I have the same exact issue and I'm going around loosing my mind as to what can it be, if you resolve it let me know what was the issue 🙏🏼

[@DjStalin100]

Figured it out. Disconnected the battery and pulled the AC fuse for 10 minutes. Reconnected battery and put back fuse. All working again.

[@pablitocodes]

​​@@DjStalin100 I did that. It worked for like 5 mins. Then died again. I replaced the actuator, all the fuses and related relays and this thing is just temperamental.

[@DjStalin100]

@@pablitocodes use arctic freeze ac charge from Harbor freight. It has anti leak properties in case of small leak. the computer won’t recognize leak and the actuator will work right. Don’t reset system for several days and eventually it’ll work. My wife’s 2003 took three days to begin working right after adding the arctic freeze charge.
