Hey guys. So here's the story. Me and my friend share a 2014 chevy camaro 1LT, 6spd manual, 3.6 V6. Apparently a few days ago he said the AC stopped working in the car. He checked the freon, it's full. But when the max AC is turned on, there is no cold air coming out of the car. He took it to electrical fix but it ended up that the shop told him to visit AC fix, but the AC fix tells him to go back to electrical. We believe it is the compressor problem. Any ideas? Please help, we are in Texas and it is over 90 degree daily...it is a pain to drive a black car under 90 degree sun...

 

Is the clutch engaging?

 

How do I check?

 

With the ac on, look at the end of the compressor, is it free wheeling, or the center part turning?

 

It's free wheeling. I believe that means the compressor clutch is not engaging

 

I'd check for battery voltage on the connector, and in your case hope it isn't there. It's either an electrical problem such as the connector, or high pressure switch is open. The system uses a high pressure switch as a safety. I am not sure with a 2014 it also has a low side protection.

 

High pressure switch is not open. Do you think just changing a new compressor will work?

 

You have battery voltage to the compressor?

 

How to check on that? Sorry I don't know any of these things...

 

My friend did mention a while ago he had someone hotwired the compressor and it worked for a few days then it stopped. Can that be the reason?
