I got the inlinepro turbo kit installed a few days ago and I realized that the AC system is not working anymore. When I press the AC button, the little green light turns on but I don't hear the compressor turn on.

I was informed that none of the components were touched so it SHOULD be working but isn't. My first instinct was that I blew a fuse, problem is when I looked in the manuel, there was no fuse labeled "AC." There were 2 fuses named ACS, or something of the sort, I checked them and they were fine (I'm guessing they were the wrong fuses).

I also ran the self-diagonsis program for the air conditioning system (pressing the recirc button a few times upon turning the ignition key) and it came back with no troubleshoot codes .

Its not a very big deal now, but once the rain starts, a fogged up windshield won't be fun.

Any ideas?


Thanks,
Jonathan

 

The AC system may need to be recharged. I know they said the system wasn't touched, but if there was even a tiny hole created, all of your AC coolent (what us old guys call freon) could escape and the system could not make cold air. Just a thought.

 

yeah, no 'freon' wouldnt make any cold air....but wouldnt you still hear the a/c kick on? i say you look over the whole a/c system, see if there were any wires or plugs damaged or unclipped, then go from there.

 

I'm probably going to have to but wouldn't the self-diagnosis pick up on a cut wire somewhere and give me a code?

And like you said, even if I had low freon, I would think the system would still turn on just not get cold? Mine doesn't even turn on.

 

Well we got it working.

Actually, it got itself working. I turned it on again after a bit of a drive, and low and behold, it works again

My guess is, because I havn't used it in months maybe it was a little slow to react and needed the freon to get moving a bit.

Who knows

 

sweet!

 

Just about to write but saw you got it up and running again

 

bringing up this old thread... having this issue after installing EMS. Any ideas guys?

 

swapped back to stock ecu and it works.. guess its something to do with EMS.

 

If your tuner did not properly tune your EMS, it could mess with your AC controls.

My issue was that I hadn't used the AC in a few months so it had to cycle a few times before it started to actually blow cold air
