A/C Compressor Not Engaging

ivan_star · 04-23-2017, 03:10 PM

My a/c compressor is not engaging, checked fuses by battery and its fine. Where do I begin to check out what the problem is? It's a 2013 z.

There is a switch on top of the collector that controls the compressor. Unplug the harness and jumper the switch to see if the compressor kicks on.
The part is common, and available at auto parts stores.

Could be low pressure lock out if you had an A/C leak. I would check pressures to see if there is any refrigerant is in the system. Leaks are common with Stillen Gen III's ,but could surface from other things as well.
