air conditioning

One day my AC compressor clutch started only half spinning and burned up. I replaced the clutch but my AC still did not work. I took it to Midas and they told me it would be $400 to fix and that it was my AC low pressure that was broken. I'm a broke college student so I've been driving with no...

After fixing my blend door actuator then with the help of RonD fixing my vacuum lines that a mouse chewed i still cant get the AC to blow cold. every time the clutch engages intermittently in a cycle, it blows cold for a second then stops when it disengages. for that short time its engaged i get...

Hello all! Just joined so I could see if anyone has the brackets for a 2.9l V6 AC compressor. At some point mine were removed and I am in the process of re-installing. It is the only part I am missing. Attached is an image with the brackets and compressor Please PM me, or reply if you have...

88 Ranger 2.3L When I purchased this truck the previous owner told me it never had AC. But from what I understand it seems like it did at one point. Did someone rip out a bunch of components and alter things? Can anyone confirm for me and maybe tell me if I have options of getting AC back again...

I'm posting this just to document a symptom I didn't find on TRS. Long story short: solved by carefully adding refrigerant. Symptoms: 1. Air blowing just barely below ambient temperature 2. Compressor clutch would engage for 3 seconds, disengage for 5 seconds, and repeat, even with all A/C...

I can't figure out why, but my ac/heater blows air when it's fully in the off position. It does not do this when the car is off but when I'm driving and get too warm I turn off the heater like anyone else but the darn thing keeps blowing even though it's slight. But it's slight enough to keep...

Hi everyone, I thought I may post on here since I can't find any real in depth knowledge on this subject. My dad and I built an 83 ranger into a race truck. It's got a stock 302 from blueprint, a non AC CVF serpentine kit (with power steering). It has a street built C4 auto from TCI. My dad...

Getting ready to pull my 2.5L ranger engine for some repairs. Can the AC compressor and hoses be unbolted and carefully moved out of the way while the engine is being pulled and reinstalled without having to open the AC system? Has anyone done it this way and did it make the job a lot more...

I have a 1996 4.0 manual ranger, when the ac is off it sounds fine, but when I turn my a.c. On it sounds like the pulley is making a ringing/rattling sound but only when the compressor kicks in, it’s not a constant sound and only does it for a couple seconds at a time. Also my a.c. Will not get...

I got a 94 Ranger with a 2300 and A/C. I just discovered that a fan blade has broken off. I what to switch to an electric fan. Any suggestions on which fans/controllers are the most reliable?

Symptoms: On a seemingly full charge of refrigerant, at idle, the A/C clutch kicks on for a roughly a second, then disengages for about 5 seconds, then the cycle repeats. There is no cool air blowing. I watch the pressure gauge and it drops when the compressor turns on,the pressure switch...

So I'm trying to fix the AC so I can sell my 97 ranger and purchase a newer, 2003 ranger from a nearby neighbor. He said he would hold his ranger for a week. Down to business then. The car blows hot air all the time, regardless of the temperature setting. I'm aware that either the blend door...

Ok here is the deal. I have completely ran out of ideas. So last year my air worked just fine, ok. This year I turn the A/C on from inside the truck and, well nothing. We get the auto kick on and off of the compressor when you start the truck, but that is it. So we have tried jumping the...

I am sorry if this is somewhere else in this forum but I could not figure how to narrow it down enough to find this topic if it is out there. Exactly what the title says. I only feel it in the steering wheel just driving down the road and little ripples in the road I can feel a sharp clunk in...

Hi folks I found 3 or 4 black flecks about the size of a grain of salt, and a slightly bigger piece of white fuzz on the screen of the orifice. Should I be taking a chance not flushing? I don't have a flush rig, or I wouldn't be asking this. The system was last opened about 3 years ago. It has...

I have a 2008 Ranger Sport 4L. Just recently I have noticed that I cannot control the temperature inside the vehicle. It just blows air at the outside temperature no matter if it's on hot or cold. The air conditioning doesn't work, neither does the heater. The fan itself seems to work...
