Does the outdoor fan come on? If it does not, then the fan motor or the capacitor is bad. Does the outdoor coil get hot? How loud is the hum? If the Condenser fan(outside Fan) is running and the condensor is not obstructed by debris or some other object, I would suspect rotor lock. This can be caused by high head pressure. A common cause of high head pressure would be a bad equalizer/unloader valve. This valve is responsible for bleeding the high pressure down during the compressor rest period between cooling cycles. Of course the worst scenario of all would be a siezed compressor. One way to test for a failed unloader or equalizer valve would be to shut the unit off for at least an hour and then restart. If it does restart odds are the valve is bad and not the compressor.

Can you by-pass the bad contactor relay on your compressor without causing damage to the unit?

Why would you want to? It is in the system for a reason, namely to turn the compressor on and off according to the schedule set by the thermostat. If you bypass it, you would be forcing the compressor to run when the rest of the system isn't, which sounds like a recipe for disaster.


What would cause a knocking sound under the hood only when the air conditioner is running?

sounds like you ac compressor is about to crap out.


On my 87'toyota truck the pulley on the ac compressor it smoking bad and making a knock how do you know weither to replace the clutch or the compressor or both or is that even the problem?

Sounds like the compressor is shot and it would be best to replace both. Unfortunately when the compressor goes bad it sends metal trash throughout the system. If you replace the compressor with out having the system flushed clean (which is almost impossible to do) the trash in the system will eventually destroy the new compressor.

Why would a 78 Mercedes 280CE run fine when the AC's off but sounds like its putting pressure on the engine when it is on?

Hey Cort==The a/c compressor draws about 10 horsepower. At idle your engine is developing about 30 hp so you are taking about 1/3 of it for the compressor. You may have switch problems on the compressor causing it not to work in some positions. GoodluckJoe

Do remanufactured engines have air conditioners?

A remanufactured engine for your vehicle would not come with an AC compressor. Your original AC compressor would be reused or replaced with a new or remanufactured compressor if needed.


Does your ex want to get back with you if when you bump into him at a club he asked what you were doing tomorrow night and whether he could call you?

It sounds like he wants a booty call. If I were you, I would hang out with him until he gives you the impression that he wants sex. If that is all he wants, then you should say goodbye forever.
