Examine the air-con system for faults because of intermittent functioning. Refrigerant pressure check - found to be within correct range; Run test with DAS and charger - component A9 A/C compressor has short circuit; Check AAC control unit - OK; Check compressor electrical plug/connector - OK; Check suction fan - OK. Mechanic recommendation is for the A/C compressor to be replaced (quote $2 000.00) to fix the problem. The air-con compressor was not replaced and the problem still exists. The plan is to have the compressor replaced next spring. |
