AC is blowing hawt air

j-rod · June 9th, 2009, 08:31 AM

Well yesterday after work it was (94) i figured the AC was having trouble over taking the fact that it was sitting on hot pavement all day and needed me to get it on the interstate bc it would really kick in... so we do... and............................................... ................... nothing... so i roll the windows down and try to cool off thinking this must be some freak even or something...

-this morning im driving to work and as soon as i cut out of the drive way the AC green light perceives to flash at me... i take it something is wrong now...

-i know it could be a hand full of things wrong with the AC... but either way thats what a warranty is for... so ill be going to the Stealer ship today or tomorrow... ill fill u in on what went down

all so from time to time my traction control light and my poor traction lights come on at the same time... the stealership told me it was a voltage issue bc of my deck and subs

im starting to think it is all related... again ill fill u guys in

jb4g · June 9th, 2009, 09:27 AM

I had my compressor replaced under warranty a while back, it imploded on itself. They didnt want to cover it and I had to fight them, but eventually corporate approved the repair. give em hell jrod

liquidsilver · June 9th, 2009, 09:43 AM

Sounds like the supply voltage is turning on and off. Was the compressor turning on and off as quick as the light too? If you have the climate control A/C the sensor could be fucked

Asian Cracker · June 9th, 2009, 09:53 AM

eee I couldn't be without AC. I would melt.

horse-eater · June 9th, 2009, 10:02 AM

j-rod · June 10th, 2009, 11:58 AM

MannyGT · June 10th, 2009, 01:43 PM

Just so you guys know I had that problem 3 times here is the list in case the dealer give you hard time:

1. AC Condenser Replaced
2. AC Condenser Replace 2nd time
3. AC Clutch Assembly Replaced
4. AC Condenser Replaced 3rd time
5. AC Hoses Replaced they were leaking

AC Fixed

Damm did they know what they were doing or did they swap until they dropped?

MannyGT · June 10th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Well they werent one after another. Ill say the 1st one went bad around 6 month of buying the car, then a year later, then finally this tech replaced it for the 3rd time and he told me, if this doesnt work, I will change the whole thing Clutch, hoses, everything. So when he replaced the condenser and I brought it back the 3 day, he got pissed, and order everrything new lol. He was like "fk Mitsu, this is under warranty" After that I didnt have any more problems and it was cooling like crazy.

Mivec · July 3rd, 2009, 03:33 PM

yea my ac went bad the other day, blows hott air. looks like im goin to have to start a war to, sucks that it happen in the middle of summer.

JUZ10xD · July 3rd, 2009, 07:54 PM

if the a/c light is flashing, that means u got clutch slippage on the compressor, or psi is too high/low in the system.

eclipsercr2006 · July 4th, 2009, 01:25 PM

i like manny had the same problem with the condensor they put it under warranty they said theres been a bunch of them replaced buy mitsu but not enough for a recall the condensor cracks up top where it mounts and the green ac light is letting you know its low on freon!

Chaos · July 4th, 2009, 01:31 PM

If my ac went out I would die. Like actually melt into my foot wells. I fucking hate the heat. Yet something keeps my living in south florida

JUZ10xD · July 4th, 2009, 02:22 PM

im surprised they warranty ur condensor. my dealer doesnt. refridgerant usually leaks out the condensor cuz rocks hit and shit while driving, and usually thats not warranty-able. and manny, you shoulda gotten a free car under lemon law

DrkGreenMarine · July 12th, 2009, 11:28 PM

lookz like im headin to the dealer tomorrow cuz my ride is turning into a sweatbox...

awilli1715k · July 13th, 2009, 07:47 AM

awilli1715k · July 17th, 2009, 05:32 PM

i went to the dealer today they said that if its not covered under warrenty i would have to pay 120. if its covered no fee. i think what he said exactly was if something was low then i would have to pay(cant remember exactly)
