About 6 weeks ago, I installed a new A/C Compressor, A/C Condenser, Accumulator Drier, Liquid Line, Discharge Line, Suction Line, A/C Serpentine belt and a De-slugger.
Everything has been working fine until this past Saturday, July 23rd. I left to run an errand and turned on the A/C as I pulled away. It came on fine with cooling air for about 5 minutes, then suddenly, without warning or any other indicator, it stopped blowing cool air and only blew hot air [I say 'hot' because I live in Baton Rouge, LA, and July is hot as hell around here].
Today I tried to diagnose the problem. I checked all fuses related to HVAC or A/C and the A/C Relay. All were fine and worked.
I then put the A/C manifold gauge on with the engine running and A/C on to see if a freon leak had developed. The low side read 110 and the high side was between 110 and 150, although I forget the exact reading. I assume, therefore, from the reading there is NO freon leak.
I did watch a YouTube [YT] video on check A/C fuses and relays, and the narrator did say something I had not heard before. I have a bad ABS module which I'm about to replace, which has been frequent warning lights. The YT narrator said sometimes the computer will not allow the A/C compressor to kick on if there have been too many warning lights from a problem.
At this point, other than the ABS module issue, I'm out of ideas. If it's a matter of returning the compressor, I'll do so, as I spoke to parts people where I do business, although the thought of having to return the compressor for a replacement makes cold shivers run up and down my spine even in July.
I guess I'm asking for any ideas as to other things I might consider before I look at returning the compressor. Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.
