Can low coolant cause AC to stop working?
In a properly operation system the engine coolant temperature should not affect the cooling of the air conditioner. But technically it is not the high coolant temperature causing the A/C problem. It is the lack of airflow across the condenser and radiator causing one problem in two systems.
Why is my air conditioning not working on my Hyundai Elantra?
While there are a variety of reasons your Hyundai Elantra air conditioning won’t work, the most common 3 are a refrigerant leak, an electrical climate control issue, or a problem with the air conditioning compressor. Get your Hyundai issue diagnosed by a professional.
How much refrigerant does a Hyundai air conditioner need?
I took it to a shop, and they checked out the A/C and told me everything was working well except that it was half a pound low on refrigerant. Since the system capacity is just 1.3 lbs, half a pound low is significant.
Where is the air conditioner condenser on a Hyundai?
The condenser is located in front of the radiator on the driver’s side, the fan is located behind the radiator. The condenser looks similar to a small radiator. I started the car, turned on the A/C and never saw the fan run. That made me wonder why the engine didn’t overheat.
What to do if your car air conditioner is not working?
Put current through resistance and it creates heat. Put enough current through enough resistance and it creates too much heat. Many plastics don’t like heat. Keep your fingers away from the fans. Disconnect the battery or the fan connector if you need to work directly on the fan.
