Condensers get clogged internally and externally. Internal clogging usually causes faster failure due internal obstruction. While external clogging develops over a long period of time and renders a condenser useless while the device itself can be still functional. Fix for internal clogging usually is replacement. External clogging can be fixed by removing foreign objects (leaves etc.) preventing air from proper circulation.
It would be best to replace it with a new one.
I have never heard of any wiring to a condenser on any car. The condenser carries the refrigerant in an air conditioner system.
The most common case of air conditioner failure in cars is the failure of the condenser, a major component of the air conditioner. If you can get this fixed at an automobile store, then you will not have this problem.
Yes, although it won't be as effective as when the car is in motion, and airflow is going through the condenser.
You probably have mold forming on your condenser from precipitated water which has been left sitting, and thus has gone stagnant. Spraying the condenser and ducts with Ozium should do it. Most people spray it into the vent by the passenger door, but it's more effective to open up the HVAC compartment and go at it that way (if you know how).
Check to see if your condenser fan is running when a/c compressor kick on.
no
Blown fuse? Bad relay? Bad switch? Bad fan motor?
Usually. In most cars, the condenser pump is driven by the belt assembly which requires the engine to be running in order to work.
how do you know if the air conditioner in your car works in the winter
An air conditioner in a car uses quite a bit of power. It is not unusual for a car to hesitate when the AC comes on.
It sounds like you have a locked up a/c compressor or a bad a/c clutch..........
