Dodge Charger A/C Fix

this is a brief video explaining how I was able to fix the air conditioner on my 2011 Dodge Charger. I am not a mechanic, however this worked for me.

[@deandredarnell7809]

Coming back by to say that in 2020 this video saved me from dealerships and auto shops trying to make me pay $1700-2400 for all kinds of things to make my air work! Turns out my fuse was melted.. A $5 part did the job! Thank you!

[@jrhakadad]

That's crazy.. I'm glad it worked for you.

[@564955charlie]

This vid saved me from sweating my ass off in my patrol car thank you.

[@jrhakadad]

Anything I can do to back the blue.. my charger is a retired patrol vehicle.

[@martinc3295]

I was literally shopping a new a/c compressor when I started a search for a/c issues on here. As soon as I saw this, I went out side and waaaa la! Your a genius man! Simple fix in plain sight that I completely missed.

[@aronnathan6767]

@Angel Emmanuel thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@aronnathan6767]

@Angel Emmanuel it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@angelemmanuel287]

@Aron Nathan Glad I could help :D

[@brucemacdonald1960]

Jared, thank you very much for posting this, my A/C on my 2013 Charger has not been working all summer and I couldn't afford to bring it to a mechanic. I tried your fix in the video last night, and it worked like a charm! I pushed on the A/C fuse and the compressor kicked on, so I pulled the fuse and bent those prongs in, and bang, I have A/C! Thanks again, you saved me a lot of money and I appreciate it!

[@jrhakadad]

You bet. I'm glad it worked for you.

[@southernkeyz1]

Geez!! Thanks this was my exact problem....I was online looking at compressors and came across this video thanks a million 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@WilsonDWeightLoss]

Out of all the videos I watched, this one helped me, swapped the fuse, boom ice cold ac

[@brucerusling5033]

Thank you so much. I was just fixing to have to take my charger into shop. I went and checked that 10 amp fuse and got my ac working again. Wow dealing with the heat here in south Texas has not been very good all because of a 10 amp fuse being loose

[@8920498]

Just wanted to let you know that your video saved me at least $80.00 which is what my mechanic charges to diagnose ONLY Didn't know about the issues that this vehicles have with the fuse box, now I do, The fuse was good, it was just not doing contact Running just as new now Appreciate the info 👍

[@GustavoRodriguez-fq4vm]

Would this cause your radiator fans to not work?

[@8920498]

@@GustavoRodriguez-fq4vm valdria la pena reemplazar el relay or fuse del radiator fan, son baratos, los puedes conseguir en Amazon Yo siempre ando un par extra en el auto por cualquier emergencia Suerte

[@able_trucking780]

I'm having similar issues was driving me nuts if this works you are a genius sir and thank you

[@chr7ris]

It worked!! Thank you, saved me few hundred dollars. Already spend $300 and they kept charging me saying the refrigerant is leaking, the relay was out etc.

[@jrhakadad]

Glad it helped

[@murdahs]

Thank you sir! Your a complete life saver! I had the exact same issue, and thanks for your video it cost me all of 4$ to fix it.

[@jrhakadad]

Murdahs I'm glad it helped.

[@Moroni108]

Same as Abdul, you helped me look in the right areas. It was the 10 amp fuse, it was burned out. Replaced it and ice cold AC again. Thanks for the video!!

[@jrhakadad]

Nice. Glad it directed you in the right area.

[@johnfranklyn8349]

Probably just saved me 1200 from the stealership. You rock!!!

[@jeremybraddy1809]

Man you just saved me hundreds of dollars!!!!! I was literally losing my shit trying to figure out what the problem was..... great video bro!

[@jrhakadad]

Awesome.. glad it helped.

[@mmjr2005]

Fixed mine too. I hope youre doing well. Thanks for the video!

[@TheCachetiz]

Bro thank you very much i was literally about to go to the shop and get it checked, saved me there💯👍

[@EastDallas400]

Thanks sir for the video. You're a life saver. My fuse had melted

[@jrhakadad]

You're welcome!

I had the same issue with my Tahoe. Great video 🍻🍻

[@myiawiggins7288]

Saved me so much money today! Thank you!!!

[@jrhakadad]

Glad I could help!

[@MISFIT.ENT89]

Same year charger and exact problem will be trying this in the morning thanks brother

[@brandonabel6939]

Man u a life saver my ac was working on 2013 charger I pulled that fuse out push it back in now it works

[@jrhakadad]

sweet! I'm glad it helped

[@skizzle298]

Thanks bro this worked for me really appreciate your help. Someone had the wrong fuse in mine lol.

[@ElloskiRussell]

Bro was your heat still working tho besides that yes or no

[@petegonzalez9304]

Worked for me. Thanks bud!

[@shahidmahdi2749]

It worked!!!! Thank you

[@smolash432]

I'm going to try this thank you

[@mrrealegeno7004]

My charger serpentine belt stops spinning when I have the ac turn on. Therefore not charging the battery and so on. Do you think it’ll be a simple fix like this or I need a whole new compressor? Belt spins fine as long as the ac is off

[@925_gaming5]

You are the fucking man. You saved me alot of time and money. You covered all the possibilities up front and I checked and sure enough, loose prongs

[@moneyhungry5.743]

Thank u really helped me 2021!!!!!!

[@dunkel1207]

Just letting you know you need a low profile fuse the one you installed is a mini fuse.

[@1bossmoney]

I have a 15 in that spot should I change it? I’m not sure if that’s how it came from factory I bought it from someone

[@YoungAmzn]

It started happening randomly , and I’ve had my car for 4 years. Yea I replaced the fuse too bc I always had to play with the fuse whenever I’m on the road I’d pull over move the fuse a bit (NOT taking it out) just move it slightly and it would kick on but like man I was gonna buy a jumper wire to by pass it but I’m gonna do the little trick you’ve done here, bc when it would kick on it would work for a long time, even like for a whole day or two then next thing you know as I’m driving it compressor would go off or even when I just turnt the car on I would have to go under the good n move it slightly.. it’s getting annoying. I also have a 2012 dodge charger pursuit retired police car

[@biscash135]

Hello did u disconnect the battery when you did that to the connectors

[@tr3ynag4ta]

Great vid! I just refilled mine on refrigerant (R-134a) and all vents (not just one) were blowing cold air. I used it the next day, no problem. It got too cold for me. The next day I wanted to use it again, nothin but plain, DRY air. I was confused, why wasn't it blowing cool this time? I did the refilling correct too, closed the cap and everything. So tomorrow I'll check this for a possible, and PERMANENT resolve of this issue. I get home from a common hot day of work, and it sucks that it is seldom working ONCE, instead of working everytime I use it! I hope I wouldn't have to replace that whole clutch thing. Maybe the fuse method might help!

[@tr3ynag4ta]

Update: when the radiator fan spins, I get cold air back. It looks like I would have to check the motor, that’s my likely issue. NOT the fuse relay, or leaks. Thanks!

[@c4yourself319]

I'm a 6'4" bearded straight man. But buddy, I could just about kiss you right now.

[@jrhakadad]

Haha.. i'll settle for a hand shake, and a thank you..

[@GustavoRodriguez-fq4vm]

Would this cause your radiator fans to not turn on? Dude to a faulty fuse from the ac compressor

[@jimmybrown2541]

Wow mines is doing the same thing i tell you it id driveing my crazy ass hell because my air want stay cold after watching this video it opens up a lot to me now

[@entertainme4530]

Out of curiosity did your A/C blow cold air half the time turning on the car? My car is having the problem, I hope this is the solution!

[@karimy360]

Thank you very much my brother, it is that you do not take a lot of money and effort problem in my car Thank you very much.

[@jrhakadad]

I'm glad it helped.

[@MrCougar214]

Anyone else notice he took the fuse out of one port but put it back into a different port? Well there's yer problem pal, you had the fuse in the wrong spot!.......lmao

[@domanieckmopar6655]

Omg it fuckn worked thank you man

[@mohamedhecham]

thanks man , I have the same problem

[@jrhakadad]

mohamed hecham awesome. I'm glad it helped.

[@miltonpratt]

Some one disconnect the pressure cut of switch and I connected it’s back and my AC blows ice cold thank you sir

[@elmerrodriguez9894]

Did you put it back in another place?

[@wojtek4070]

Hi. I have opposite problem. My A/C works still. If I do not turn ON , the air is cold, but when I turn ON the A/C itr starts to blow higher, but the same temperature. No one knows what is going on.

[@toreywilliams3690]

I know from experience. It’s the wrong fuse. The connection may have been loose. But use the right size fuse. I used to think those would work both being 10. But it wont for long.

[@juanaraujo8003]

My is 2007 Srt8 Charger the problem is Only have ac in right side en left side don’t work????? What U think 🤔is the problem ??????

[@humanoid7765]

That sounds like you need to recharge the ac. You can buy a recharge kit from autozone or walmart and recharge it yourself.

[@xan.icelos5754]

I gotta 2012 Dodge Charger and the ac compressor smokes Everytime I turn it on (only turned it on twice) I’m thinking about getting a new compressor but I want to make sure I tried everything b4 I get a new one

[@rogerkings9168]

Appreciate dude

[@trishavalle1987]

have you ever have your ac lose power while driving and wont come back one any info thnks

[@jrhakadad]

trisha valle it's possible that the fuse is blown.

[@justkiller2]

Same like u did u fixed it ?

[@xirishflipo]

Where do I buy the fuse?

[@dank_crusad3r]

Auto Zone has them

[@abdul-hakimabdul-ahad6182]

$3.23 and I have ice cold air again! Simple as a 10 amp fuse

[@westerfieldcole4978]

💯💯💯

[@CallMeMilenko]

Gonna try this when I get off work. Changing the fuse, relay, and adding refrigerant didn't work for me.

[@CallMeMilenko]

And it worked woo-hoo. Saw the compressor wasn't running so I touched the fuse and it kicked on. Took it out and saw the connectors were separated a bit. Now I kicks on when I start the car

[@tinaross4260]

our problem is we have a 2014 dodge charger the air works on the drivers side but not the passenger side it's blowing hot air

[@jrhakadad]

Tina Ross that sounds more like a blend door under the dash that is not working.

[@tinaross4260]

do you happen to have anything showing how to get to it and what were looking for

[@jrhakadad]

I don't. I'm sorry.

[@PanamaJack556]

I'm having this problem too :(

[@TheWld113]

I had same issue. It was low charge. You need to empty it completely and recharge it completely. I tried it and it fixed it

[@kevinrider8703]

You pulled the fuse out of the third spot and bent the prongs on the 5th spot wtf

[@RickyLR42009]

I'm having the same problem right now :( I'm chech the fuse tomorrow

[@jrhakadad]

Ricky Resendiz good luck.

[@benjaminemery9305]

Dude. Must be a minor defect in manufacturing. Same problem on my wife’s 2013 model. Melted the plastic. I guess dc current is same as ac as when you have any loose electrical connection is makes the plug hot and it will melt.

[@J3ttLife]

My clutch ain’t going either and it’s gunna be a hot summer here in Texas /:

[@jrhakadad]

Mark Calvillo is the fuse thing not working for you?

[@williambillcowman]

This vid just saved me almost 3 grand. THANK YOU!!!!

[@MotorbreathM]

This is a problem for vehicle built before may of 2013. Chrysler ha a repair for it covered in tech service bulletin TSB # 08-040-14.

[@angelizbxmb]

Motorbreath Morton more info?? Where can I see that

[@jessicacorrea7221]

Jared I have a question? I have a 2014 Dodge Charger, and the A/C and heater dont turn on. I already took it in to the mechanic and he cant find the leak anywhere they recharged it last year but it stops working. I dont think mine is that because there was a funky smell coming out from the A/C vent it's like a mold smell. Its frustrating because I want to get it fixed, but my mechanic isn't really finding the root of the problem. I wanted to get your opinion on this.

[@cesarsahagun893]

I'd suggest to try to find a repair shop in your arew with plenty of good reviews and good ratings. I checked Yelp and found a repair shop with great ratings who offered to diagnose for free. Good luck.

[@str8profit81]

My ac and horn don’t work. I tried repacking the fuse twice but it burns them out as soon as I turn the ac on

[@jrhakadad]

It sounds like you could have a short in the wiring. Maybe start tracing wires on each of those and see if you can find any damaged wiring.

[@richardwalker4015]

Same here my horn dont work a/c clutch does not move blowing hot air only. My wires are burnt and look damages so I think that's the problem

[@khicke5]

The security alarm wouldn’t turn off, so the battery was unplugged and plugged in. After a few times of that, the horn, blinkers, brights, and turn signals don’t work. The ac already was broken before that.

[@marciananton9226]

Mine is cooling sometimes but then suddenly just blows hot air. I know you are not a mechanic but maybe one of your viewers may know the answer to this problem.

[@valentinejrayika8327]

I just recently got into cars and I've been doing stuff on mine instead of going to a mechanic and I recently decided to fix my AC so here are some things I found out relating to your problem. If there is air blowing but it isn't cooling then your cooling fan might be bad its ingromt of your radiator that's probably why it starts out cold, then when your engine heats up so does the AC

[@mayracuevas6319]

I have the same problem, bit sometimes itbworks great and other times it will blow only hot air ans after runjing thw car for a few miles i gwt cold air again

[@SybilCepeda]

Did you ever figure out what your issue was? My a/c does that after running over an hour.

[@marthaschamlee7964]

A C

[@pauljoey7977]

Wow, a port smoker smashed up into my SRT so I'm back to a 2018 hellcat so I wont need this advice but it is cool
