When the points are wearing on one side, which means it it over or under capacity. Also a good condenser would have a reading of 18 to 23 microfarad's
The condenser usually leaks and that makes it go bad. Also it can become clogged if the compressor goes bad and pumps metallic particles through the system.
It could develop a leak and empty the freon from the ac system.
Yes, a bad ignition condenser will keep a motorcycle from firing. A bad ignition condenser might also have caused the points to stick together and burn up.
number of things. you could have a bad condenser fan motor. bad contactor or a bad run cap for the condenser fan motor.
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.
Do you know how to braze? Do you have an EPA license?Do you know how to pull a vacuum and recharge the system? There is a lot that goes into changing out an AC condenser. On average you are going to pay close to 1000$ just for the condenser. Do yourself a favor and pay someone who knows what there doing. If you don't you will be buying a new condenser before to long.
If you have a bad condenser your car won't run. Always carry a spare set of points and condenser (you change them together) in the glovebox.
you will know by smelling it and if it stinks than it is bad so thorw it out
You have to know what the problem is, before you can know the cost. Low Freon? $100. Bad AC compressor $5/600.Condenser, evaporator, hoses?
If you are referring to the RF noise suppression condenser sometimes found on car alternators or generators (older cars), the case of the condenser is grounded and the pigtail goes to the positive.
Not clear on "cracked condenser", but a bad condenser in the distributor would cause the points to wear out quickly, which could easily keep the truck from starting.
Yes. The condenser is on the high side, and high pressure vapor goes from the compressor outlet directly to the condenser inlet.
