What to do if there is no power to the AC compressor?
CondoCruiser, Plan-B Trucking, Cetane+ and 1 other person Thank this. put gauges on system. if there’s no freon. there’s also no voltage to the compressor. you need at least 50 lbs freon before the compressor will kick on. think, low pressure switch staying off.
When does an air compressor start and stop?
Air compressors like California Air Tools models start and stop continuously when their pressure differential gets to a slim margin of 1 bar (14 psi). The differential pressure of compression systems is the variation between the cut-in and the cut-out pressure. If your air compressor won’t reach pressure, the faulty switch needs a replacement.
What happens when the pressure switch on an air compressor fails?
A defective air compressor’s cut-off switch can trigger a fault. When pressure switches fail, air compressors run erratically. Normally, the pressure switch prevents an air compressor from going past its cut-out (optimum) pressure. It’s an automatic sensor that protects the air compressor.
Why is my air conditioner not getting power?
We need power at he low pressure switch. Here is a guide and the wiring diagrams for the air conditioner system so we can see how it works. Check fuse 10 – 10 amp for power that is what feeds the low pressure switch and see where you are losing power. Check out the diagrams (Below).
Why is my AC compressor not getting power?
95′ 378. AC is not working. System is charged but compressor clutch will not engage. No power at compressor. It does engage if I jump it off a 12V source. I have power in and out of hi and low pressure switches. Any thing I’m missing or do I need to start looking for a broken wire somewhere?
Why is my air conditioner clutch not getting power?
Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch Not Getting Power (electrical Ok. Here it goes! No power to AC Compressor Clutch. Here are the details: After researching this I’m thinking it could be the relay in the CCRM (constant control module)? Although I can’t find a good enough diagram to find it!

Is the AC compressor on a Western Star working?
Discussion in ‘ Western Star Forum ‘ started by 04 LowMax, Jul 7, 2014 . Wondered if anyone has done any trouble shooting for this problem on a star? Was all prepared to head to a shop and get ac recharged, then thought I better just make sure the compressor is working. Good thing I did, it wasn’t. No 12 volts at comp plug.
What happens when the a / C compressor goes out?
The body controller will monitor the a/c system pressure through the high pressure sensor. Once the pressure is about 300 psi it will tell the engine to turn the fan on. If the a/c pressure continues to rise over about 350 the body controller will log an a/c high pressure fault which will lock out the a/c operation until the next key cycle.

Where is the AC compressor on a truck?
One usually on driver side around the top of radiator. One on driver side on lines near fan solenoid. And one on passenger side on lines on cab. One is low pressure, one is high pressure, and one is fan control. I can’t remember which is which without looking. Wore out is right about if power is at the switches then probably harness.
Where can I find Kenworth T600 W900 Sanden type AC?
20-04040-AM 4040, 4792, 4425 No Would you like to tell us about a lower price? Video Player is loading. This is a modal window. Must match your OEM part number to the OEM Part numbers provided below for correct fitment.
How can I tell if my compressor clutch is working?
So start your diagnosis by determining if the compressor clutch works. Turn the air conditioning controls to MAX AC and start the engine. Then look at the front of the compressor clutch. Both the pulley and the clutch should be spinning. That means the clutch has properly engaged with the pulley.
How can I tell if my compressor is running or not?
Not really. DIY kits come with a low pressure side gauge and they’re designed to provide a static pressure (engine not running or AC off) and a running pressure. Static low side pressure won’t give you any idea of system charge. You could have a low side target range of 50-psi and see that static pressure on your gauge.
Where are the low and high AC pressure switches located?
The low-pressure side switch is found before the AC compressor, while the high-pressure switch comes after the compressor. Most AC pressure switches are found within the engine compartment, but some manufacturers put them elsewhere. A look in your service manual will show you the appropriate location for your model. AC Pressure Switch Function
What happens when a pressure switch fails on an AC compressor?
3. Compressor not coming on. As the pressure switches control the on/off function of the AC compressor, a switch failure can prevent the AC compressor from functioning at all. The compressor is what pumps refrigerant through the entire system. If it is not functioning, then the system can not operate, and will be unable to produce cold air.
How much does it cost to fix a bad compressor sensor?
They said unfortunately the sensor is built into the Compressor and to fix it would cost either almost $1200 for a new compressor and labor to install or around $275 to bypass the sensor. At first the $275 solution seems like a no brainer. But, if the compressor should seize up, then what would be the thing to worry about? Blown belt? Other?
