2003 Pontiac Grand Am Complete A/C Replacement

[@john-qb7lv]

Good video. Best practice is to always weigh the refrigerant charge in to the system. The amount is listed on a data sticker in the engine compartment.

To guarantee it will work when replacing the following........ AC Compressor Condenser Accumulator Office tube All seal Flush/Vacuum out all lines Question..... What else is needed to be replace, evaporator and what else? Flush the lines, you didn't show that, may I get video on that or show all lines that need to be flushed? I had several people working on my AC and every single person did not replace all, nor did they tell me I should replace all when replacing my AC Compressor? If I replace all, then my AC should work for sure. Thank you for your help, wonderful video, and all was clear!

Hello, can you show how to change the air cabin filter please ?

[@bandit36goingon37]

I’m not mechanically inclined like yourself, but I’m definitely changing out my compressor today... condenser... maybe next week when it comes in. The car is a work in progress. I subscribed. Thanks for the tutorial big dawg!

[@vantaylor8869]

can you show me how get my dash board to get lights to come on my gas tank hands to work

[@Jonah21360]

John Park thank you so much! Please subscribe so I can remonetize my channel 👌🏼

[@gooburt9026]

Do you have a recommendation for an affordable manifold gauge set?

[@gravity5294]

Autozone rents one for free.. just leak test it first sometimes you get a bad one but they change it out for free

[@vantaylor8869]

my heater and my ac dont work on 02 gran am

[@jfaatz1]

This video is very helpful. Your detail much appreciated. No music much appreciated. Could hear you pretty well over other noises in the shop. Thanks!

[@audiwankenobi361]

This video is definitely a keeper! Gonna give it a shot, my Pontiac grand am gt only cost me 500$s running and driving so why not right?

[@mramericanmuscle40]

Can the oem low side fitting be replaced? My service port is leaking and I can't find the correct fitting anywhere.

[@ecanixgarage1106]

They should sell a multipack at the part store if I’m not mistaken.. you just need that little special tool to thread the old one out and reinstall the new one

[@ohheyitsdezz3609]

my ac in my still is really cold but it take a while for it to get there

[@ecanixgarage1106]

Check Freon level

[@lydiasmommyvoltz9397]

My air condituon module fuse keeps blowing. Every morning I need a new fuse. Think changing all this would help?

[@ecanixgarage1106]

Have you tried putting a slightly stronger fuse in it? What does that fuse control exactly?

[@lydiasmommyvoltz9397]

It says 10a. It's number 37. I'll check the picture real quick and see what it says.

[@lydiasmommyvoltz9397]

It says A/C BFC

[@lydiasmommyvoltz9397]

@@ecanixgarage1106 I replied wrong I'm sorry. You should see the replies to myself..

[@donaldphillips1470]

Have a 2004 grand am gt1 my question is where is the blue low side connection at and how do you get to it?

[@ecanixgarage1106]

From the video it looks like it on pax side rear below alternator…

[@ryans413]

Why you replace mostly everything was the compressor bad was the condenser leaking or just replace it all cause you had it open

[@ecanixgarage1106]

Ryan Scherbluk I believe the compressor had a hole blown in the side of it. The accumulator should always be changed when you change a compressor, and I usually always change condenser when there has been a failed compressor. There are little plastic seals inside compressor and when they break up, they can get lodged in the condenser. Once they break free from the condenser they can come back around and take out brand new compressor you just installed. If you do condenser and compressor, along with accumulator/orfice/dryer etc.. you can’t go wrong and can guarantee Year’s of cold air. 👌🏼

Factz g u not doing nothing wrong u just a little smarter when it comes to thinking ahead replace it all lifetime warranty fr💯✊💪

[@TERRORoftheLORD]

19:02 What does "make sure the cooling fans are running" Mean? Just to check for their function? Or to check the freon pressure they must be on?

[@ecanixgarage1106]

With the ac on, the fan/fans should all be running..

[@ecanixgarage1106]

And yes to get n accurate reading, fans need to be running

[@ryans413]

The fans under the hood in the engine bay should come on automaticity with the ac system

[@mlez7197]

great video buddy... definitely Good job...

[@bradleyschubert5600]

Is vacuuming a must?

[@ecanixgarage1106]

Yes

[@peteroswald1874]

Dope vid thanks bud

[@NashCustoms]

This is a good video 🤙🏻 I’m sure your happy you reached that 1000 subs limitation for monetizing 😂😂

[@jonathancastillo8106]

Do I have to add oil after I change just the condenser

[@ecanixgarage1106]

Jonathan Castillo you can throw and ounce or 2 in it

[@JonOffgrid]

thanks for the video sir

[@Jonah21360]

Is it a pain to change out the evaporator?

[@ecanixgarage1106]

John Park one just Be patient and don’t force anything out. It wasn’t that bad, you can do it. Just be sure to follow all the steps with evacuating the system and charging properly. Thanks for watching my video, would you please subscribe? I’m only a few subscribers away from men thousand so I can re-monetize! It would really help me! Colby dean

[@gravity5294]

Yes, it is. You can either take the entire dash apart, or remove everything from the radio down. I chose the latter as I needed to have use of the car if the replacement took longer than expected. It did. It took over a week. In retrospect, I kind of wish I would have just removed the dash. There is very little room, it will make you a master contortionist. Take pictures so you remember which screw/bolt goes where and which covers belong where! If you get stuck getting the cover off.. the nut holding it on is in the engine compartment below the heater core hoses toward the steering column. With the heater hoses it's almost impossible to see unless you know where it is. Careful removing it, its probably rusted and things won't line back up right if it isn't secured.

[@mikeyone76]

How much did all that cost ya?

[@ecanixgarage1106]

Michael Gilliam I don’t remember exactly just google year make model of vehicle and ac kit. Usually you can get everything between $2-300 for parts

[@ashleymarkmills6413]

Fucking adds in middle of vidieo and still didnt show me what i wanted to fucking know!
