Aircon Stopped Blowing! Help!

Recommended Posts

today for some reason after disconnecting and reconnecting my battery, all of the sudden my A/C no longer blows and i started hearing a clicking sound in my dash.

I'm suspecting something to do with a vent being stuck closed, maybe all the air is being relayed to the vents that blow the windows or something i dont know.

So can someone please give me some info on this?

I've read about a blend motor that can get worn down, but could it prevent air from being blown through the vents entirely?

no, definately not a spark way too loud and clunky

hmmmm thanks for the fuse idea though

i took out the fuse and tried it out and nothing changed, so it could definately be the fuse.

gonna go to a parts store and have the fuse checked!

The clicking sound is either the clutch on the compressor or a relay. When you disconnected/reconnected the battery you may have accidentally earthed it out our caused an intermittent voltage spike.

If its not blowing any air at all it will be the fuse for the heater fan/blower motor assembly.

Check all the fuses in the engine bay and in the fuse box located in the dash under the steering wheel. The easiest way to test them is with a test light. Just remember to test both points on the fuse for power. If only one point lights up the fuse is blown. Also be sure to replace the fuse with the manufacturer specified amperage.

Hope this helps.

well, i checked all the fuses and relays marked as A/C and i didnt find anything,

i'm going to take a look at the blower

is there a way to test that?

oh and it's not the clutch/compressor, that's a different sound and i can still feel the compressors kick in when i turn it on as i feel my rpm's rise when it's on

dude,

you have NO IDEA how much i searched for this problem, but all that kept coming up was AC regassing problems, PBR problems and so on, nothing that sounded like what i had

but OMG i'm so hoping that this is the problem i'm having!!!!!

And i have a buddy with a wrecked skyline so it would be the perfect opportunity to get the part,

i am taking my glove box out TOMMOROW to check this out.

I'm so glad i kept bumping this thread so you replied, otherwise i would have ended up taking my dash off for nothing!

    • OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.
    • Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.
    • I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.  
    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.
