My Ac has stopped working.. I have replaced the AC compressor Fuse and relay
and still the compressor will not kick in.. Is there anything else I should
be looking for? The air was working fine on the way to work. After sitting
outside at work all day it would not come back on anymore.... This is for a
2000 dodge ram 1500 318 motor...

Thanks for any help..

Umm.....keep slapping parts at it and you might fix it one day, or you can
find out where the leak is, and fix it, and have it recharged..
Ten to one, the LP switch is telling you something..

What do you mean by "stopped working"? Did the air stop blowing out of the
vents, or is there air blowing out of the vents but it's always warm?

There is air blowing out, but always warm.......

In that case take the advice of CBHVAC. The blower system can usually be
fixed by an owner with some patience and mechanical ability. The rest of it
is usually best left to a shop with the proper test and servicing/recovery
equipment.

....

Um...LP???

Low Pressure switch. If the system is low on charge, the low pressure switch
doesn't allow the compressor to engage. This saves replacing a destroyed
compressor along with fixing the leak.

Thanks.. I took it to a shop, and they could find no leak anywhere.. IT
took a charge and is working great.. they said to compare it to a tire that
looses a few pounds of pressure over a 2-3 yr. period of time.. the truck is
4 yr. old, so I hope that is all it was and I didn't waste my money on
getting it charged only to have it go dead again in a few months..

Take care everyone and thanks for the help......

I'm calling BS on this one. You have a leak somewheres. My 1975
Valiant R-12 A/C works perfectly and it never been messed with. My
'94 (134a) Bonneville works great with only 250K on the clock. I
really hate it when shops tell people that "Your *freon* is used up
and you need a refill." BS- There is a leak somewhere. Do you have
to refill your 'fridge every 4 years?? Hows about that old 10K BTU
Window A/C unit thats been kicking since 1985? I know someones gonna
start with the R-22 statements, but its the same idea, just different
halons.

Later!
