Full AC Job Has Been Performed & It’s Still Not Working (Mitsubishi Eclipse)

One of our former employees needed to get out of town quickly but their AC isn’t working. They’ve already replaced many components including a full AC job with compressor, drier, and expansion valve. It’s still not functioning. Clayton took over and tried to find the issue. He has pinpointed it to an issue between two components. Does it have bad wiring somewhere? He thinks so. Let’s dig deeper with him and the Professor and see what they find! Hope this helps! Enjoy!

You can bypass the white/green to green/red wire to see if the compressor works, that way you know the ecm and the wiring is all good. Thanks for posting a new video.

[@roadtrekralph311]

Yeah, exactly what I was wondering why they didnt try that.

[@vickenkaragozian2041]

Not sure why. Easy way to check the whole system rapidly.

Thanks for the great videos,I am a fellow shop owner/technician,and your techniques and equipment choices are great to see,your content is super informative and you are a true professional, which there a few of in our industry unfortunently. In my are there is our shop and one other that actually try to do it right, most the others are parts slingers so it’s tough to educate the customers on how a proper shop operates,hopefully some of them watch your channel lol.

[@HUBONEN]

Little bit frustrate seeing on face when heard "i have no battery in it" but staying it cool and OK . Got me little smile 🤭 That kind of wire set is awesome, helps a ton when you know you got a good connection when measuring. Thanks again for a good video.

[@scotts4125]

My employee's are great hardworking guys but no different. I could imagine one of my guys doing the same exact thing and not thinking anything of it. :)

[@coldfinger459sub0]

Excellent video Sometimes parts are hard or not available and too many options. Lots of waisted time and cost and lost $ to shop and owner of car. I’ve been coming up with using clamp on temp switches that temperature settings to bypass in compressor temp switch to still protect compressor. But easy and faster to install. Without ever having to touch the refrigerant charge. Switch operate of the the P/T of refrigerant pressure to temperature relationship. Especially on some of these cars that are just not worth the time and money. I gives the technician a easy, fast cheap option to make the customer. Happy and get on with other more profitable work.. Provide to the customer with quick easy, protected, compressor working air conditioning.

Good video Sherwood, and great initiative by Clayton! I have found sometimes, specifically on the Mitsubishi Eclipse, I have to look up a different year or look up the spider instead of the Eclipse. Also sometimes it helps to look up the vehicle with different options. Just a thought. Keep up the great content and I look forward to seeing you guys surpass the 50k mark! 👍🏻

[@sherrodford955]

Nice catch on the wiring diagram. Make sure you submit the request library about non-oe wiring diagram that has wrong color wires.

[@LesReeves]

Always have a genuine workshop manual for all my vehicles every time I purchase a vehicle (usually used) the first thing I search the net for is the OE manual.Cheers.

[@brucelott3583]

I would have checked the continuity between the connectors to make sure not a harness problem. Nothing worse than trying to diag with incorrect info. Good video

[@elvisvwvw]

great educational video, love the authenticity. no too much editing. great explaination. great job

[@joychung3639]

I just run a check for non-oem diagram. I think you just choose the wrong diagram for the A/C that make your diagnostic take time. 3 diagram available for that car. A/C turbo model (that have a/c pressure switch), the non-turbo A/C (A/T) wiring, non-turbo A/C (M/T) wiring. the one you show on the video is the non-turbo one and that one don't have that a/c pressure switch.

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

We had the 2.0 turbo selected in Alldata.

[@davidjackson4112]

I enjoy watching your channel. Your diagnostic skill are impeccable. Thanks for sharing!

[@fromisheon4867]

Wow this is the first time I saw Mitsubishi's wiring diagram. It is not that bad compared to Nissan or Subaru.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

thanks i took your advice and got one of the lead test kits from AES Wave and love it thanks

[@Grunter123]

That was quick.

[@ryan.mullen]

Great video. I’m working on getting better with wiring diagrams and your videos have helped me a ton. Every time you guys make a new video is like Christmas for me 😂. Keep it up. 👍

[@djosbun]

Superb job, men!

[@martinboucaud679]

Another awesome video guys I love it. Thank you.

[@rwrobs777]

See a lot of mistakes on the redrawn !!…now I recheck with the OE diagrams !!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

[@callumcurtis15]

Be careful not to blow the welds on the intake 👍

[@1primacron]

And make sure the floor pan does not fall off while shifting through that 20 speed manual gearbox.

[@razvanturcu9871]

Funny thing: the first time I used a wiring diagram, it proved to be wrong. I used autodata, haynes pro and tolerance data for the same diagram and the wire colors were different from the actual wires.

[@isalmankhan1]

Thanks for sharing PROFESSOR😍 Really appreciate your work👍🏻 Stay Safe Guy's😍

[@dougkelley1266]

I just had same problem with a nissan. Power went through temp switch not shown on diagram

[@Grunter123]

Another good one guys thanks for sharing. One question, did you have to modify that Aes breakout pin?

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

I've had that kit for many years, the connector was spread open a bit. Probably time to get a new kit.

[@uhdoop6080]

That car looks familiar 😊 2g dsm

[@ScoobsterGL]

Is it possible yall had the wrong car selected? Non-turbo models dont have that switch, turbo models do. It is properly displayed in Alldata from what I can see.

[@aymenmohamed1134]

👍👍👍

[@DJ-tn7vj]

Real talk professor. Did it get fix?

[@trmclaren]

Oh shit a DSM on the channel.

[@TStheDeplorable]

In response, Alldata is changing its name to Somedata.

[@rolandm9750]

Totally random question here but is that seemingly clear upper timing cover, the way this car came from the factory? Or is that an aftermarket cover of some sort?

[@theroyaltyautoservice]

Definitely aftermarket.

that must a car from over seas or at least another country. I have only ever see the serpentine belt of a front wheel drive car on the driver side of the engine bay once before and that was on a Volvo.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Wow I thought Alldata was good 😱

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

I hate diagnosing

[@ericnieto2092]

Diagnosing can be very rewarding but shops rarely quote proper time, making lots of techs lose money. Which is unfortunately why many shops just throw parts at an issue.
