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!

    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
