Why would a 2001 Ford Explorer AC blow hot air but full of freon?

Mabe your compressor is not kicking on for some reason. Check to see if the front of your compressor starts spinning when you turn it on. If it don't check to see if there is power to the wires that go to your compressor. If there is power you have a bad compressor. If there is not check the fuses or relays.

Does the three wire live neutral and earth that run from the aircond unit to the compressor carry current?

All of the 3 wires connected to the compressor motor terminals will carry current while it is running. Depending on the method the mfr uses to cycle the compressor (breaking one or both power legs) some of the wires may remain `Hot` while it is off. A wiring diagram specific to the unit in question will answer that. By earth I assume you mean the ground or green wire, that wire is never intentionally powered.


The window on your 1991 240sx will not go up nor down is it the window switch or the motor I dont hear any noise coming from neither of them.?

early nissans have a window amplifier its located on the driver door, its what the switch plugs in to, it looks like a little box. very common problem is they burn out, you wont have any power to the motor and will probably think the motor is bad. check the motor first by putting power and ground to it, (two wires coming from window motor) it doesn't matter which one gets power cause one way up, switch wires and you get down. check motor first they are built well and usually the amplifier wears out first


Ac-cooling fan not running anyone have any ideas?

You don't specify what type of car, but typically there are only a few possiblities. With the AC on (as long as the AC system is properly charged and working), look to see if the AC compressor is engaging. If so, the fan should also have power going to it. Check the wires attached at the fan motor for power. If there is power, the fan motor is failed. If not, then check the fuses and the relay for proper operation. If the AC compressor is not engaged, the fan may not be asked to turn on by the computer that controls it. Then it is a matter of checking the AC system to find the fault.


What wires cause an air compressor to stop turning on a 1989 Mazda mx6?

I'm Guessing that your talking about the A/C compressor, in which there are 1 or 2 wires going to the clutch. Disconnecting this wire(or 2) will disable the compressor clutch stopping the compressor from working.
