Help me with air conditioner its over a hundred degrees right now, my 2001 c5 air conditioner switch shuts off within 1 to 2 seconds after pushing it. compressor does not engage, ran codes, hvac had no trouble codes listed. i went to the lacr drags ran 4 times , final weekend there closing track forever, took off my air condition belt on fri put it back on monday and had the problem immediately, removed it twice b4, never a problem b4 . tried to check r12 level ,gauge read deep into the red danger zone but that was with out the compressor coming on ?
belt is installed correctly. belt and the pulley and the tensioner were all repklaced apprx 4 months ago, do to squeeking pronblem, i cleaned the connector at the compressor and at the hi pressur e line , no difference i changed the 4 point relay/fuse with other (horn) made no difference .any thing else anyone else had this happen, push the on/off switch for the air condition it lites up apprx 1 sec then immediately shuts off
its the low pressure shout off switch...it has tripped so you dont burn up the compressor.Take it in to get recharged, also have them pull the vac and oil it too. good luck
had prob diagnosed , turned out to be a electrical problem a short , havent located where yet, im guessing it to be the ground in the dash at the head unit , will see and post
I have the same exact problem with my 03 vert. the AC light blinks for 3 seconds and then goes out. I haven't touched anything so i doubt it is a short. I guess i'll have it recharged and see if that works.
