Chevy Cobalt AC Repair In The Driveway - Addressing Common GM Points of Failure

[@collinistheguy9355]

Pretty solid video. If you just recharged your AC like me, don’t be a dummy like me and under fill it. I thought my compressor might’ve been shot. I just replaced the radiator and condenser due to a very unfortunate raccoon…. I recharged the AC and it wasn’t blowing cold. Turns out I just didn’t put enough refrigerant in the first time. Hope this is helpful or at least provides a good chuckle.

What where the Low & High Pressure Readings with the Bad Relief Valve? Also readings with a full charge?

[@Ittybitty-o6y]

Checked mine today on an 09 I just purchased, I do have p0411 code on the engine which I believe won’t cause it to disable the air conditioning, with the car on, ac on full blast, when I plug my guage into it, the guage immediately pegs out to max. Am I testing it wrong? What should I look at? Ince in a blue moon the pump will try to turn on for a second but i think it being at its level it won’t allow it, any help would be greatly appreciated,

I have the same issue lol

Nice repair!

Thanks!

If the system was empty, did you by -pass the low pressure switch to get the compressor to engage?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I did not need to. It cycles the compressor with the addition of gas

$40 for the relief valve 😢

[@retrotechandelectronics]

40$ to fix an AC instead of going to a shop and paying 1500
