Hi everyone,
I have a 2007 yaris 4 door non-hatchback... My wife was driving it the other day and the A/C started blowing hot air. Of course first thing I thought was to re-charge it.. That didn't help, so I checked the power going to the compressor... It's getting a little over 13 volts when the a/c is turned on... The clutches aren't engaging though.. I did notice that the engine fan comes on the minute you turn on the a/c whether the car is hot or not. Also the minute you turn off the a/c the cooling fan shuts off... I used to be a car guy and always prided myself on being able to repair my own car.. I broke my back a few years ago in the Army, and just can't stand bending over or laying on the ground for too much amount of time now. I also can't find a repair manual on the car, so I'm kinda stuck.. Hoping someone can give me some ideas on what to troubleshoot... I figured it shouldn't be a relay if there's power going to the compressor. The parts shop said it might be the ambient temp switch but I don't know if that would stop the compressor from cycling on completely?? Is there another sensor I should be checking or does it seem maybe I need a new compressor??? I'd try to rebuild the clutch but can't find a part to do it.. Any help would be great. Thanks Guys
