as I understand it There appears to be a air conditioner module behind the radio in the center console which is actually tied in with two other computers onboard and the module is not sending information to start the compressor. Cost as I understand is about , are you ready? Eleven hundred ( $ 1,100.00 ) dollars. Plus labor. At least that is true for a 2003 SL 500. from Mercedes Tech.
Yes, with both freon and oil for it to operate correctly and engage unless someone has bypassed the pressure switches or relays..........
You will have to figure out why: This the 90% of the time failur: Is there Freon in the system, if there is not a minimum pressure, usually 17 PSI, the compressor will not run. Is the compressor and clutch capable of working? Is the fuse in good shape.
The air conditioning compressor contactor controls the flow of electricity to the compressor unit, allowing it to turn on and off as needed to regulate the temperature in the air conditioning system.
The AC compressor capacitor in an air conditioning system helps to start the compressor motor and keep it running smoothly by providing an extra electrical boost when needed.
It can damage the compressor.
The compressor.
The AC compressor contactor in an air conditioning system is responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to the compressor. It acts as a switch that allows the compressor to turn on and off based on the thermostat's signals, helping to regulate the temperature in the space being cooled.
This could be because you have a leak in you A/C system causing a loss of freon. When there is not enough freon in your system the A/C compressor will not engage, it will harm the compressor.
The compressor fan motor in an air conditioning system is responsible for circulating air over the condenser coils to help dissipate heat and cool down the refrigerant gas. This process is essential for the overall cooling function of the air conditioning system.
The air conditioning system is behind the dash like all other cars. The compressor, however is mounted on the engine, in the rear of the car, with refrigerant lines running up to the evaporator/condensor up front.
You should not put any oil in a Ford air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor runs on Freon. The system should take about one pound of Freon.
If the compressor will not come on at all, it is not because the system needs charging. Check for a blown fuse, disconnected wire at the compressor, or a defective compressor clutch.
