Toyota Repair: Toyota air conditioning, magnetic clutch, toyota camry
QuestionI have a 1986 toyota camry. The air conditoning doesn't always work. I put in a new a/c switch and that didn't help. When I turn on the air conditioning the switch will blink and will not come on. Sometimes it will. Most of the time it does this when it is hot outside, but this morning it was cold outside and it would not come on, it only blinks on the switch which means it is not working. Can you give me any clues?
AnswerThe system may be low on freon, the first step is to check freon pressures and re-charge the system as necessary.
There may be a problem with the compressor or the magnetic clutch, the clutch will not engage if there is insufficient pressure in the system, if everything seems to check out ok, replace the compressor revolution sensor, it's located on the back of the compressor and has two wires coming from it, it is under freon pressure so all the freon has to be removed before removing the sensor.
