The first really hot days brought with them the first purely summer hardships: the air conditioner suddenly went off without any symptoms. Once – and you’re done. What could have happened and how much would it cost to fix? After all, ahead is the heat ahead, we must do it immediately. That’s right, of course, you have to do it, but haste is inappropriate here.
In the driver’s environment, it is believed that the only air conditioning failure that is generally possible is the lack of freon in the system. Like, if the “coolness” is broken, you just need to fill the circuit with gas and everything will pass. Unfortunately, we are in a hurry to get upset: freon has no expiration date and cannot go anywhere from a closed system. The reason for “failure” often lies elsewhere.
In our case, for example: the outlets of the ventilation system in the passenger compartment remain cold, even cool air comes out. There is not enough pressure, the cabin breeze does not respond to the buttons and makes no sound. That is, it is certainly not the lack of freon. Most likely, a fan went to the rainbow.
However, before you pull out the last hair and buy a new spare part, which today stands as a Moscow apartment, think: he did not whistle – he did not rattle, he did not give reasons, but suddenly “gone”. It happens, of course, and this, but in three cases out of four, the problem must be sought in a completely different place. More specifically in the fuse box in the cabin.
Before you buy new parts and run to a car service, check them exactly – the fuses. The Internet is full of schemes with a description: who is responsible for what? We’ll use them. But we read carefully: several “flags” can be responsible for one system at the same time, and some of them are generally cross. That is, they protect many options of the car.
A ten minute study will tell you who is responsible for the discomfort. In our case, checkbox number 16, located in the farthest and inaccessible corner of the block. We disassemble the interior, on the way we check the relay – two wiring and an ordinary battery will help. click? So it’s great.
So, an independent replacement, where only slotted and Phillips screwdrivers and a cheap Chinese puller came in handy, came to an end, a damaged fuse worth 5 rubles was found and replaced. Check it out: noisy! Cool air is out! This means you can put it back together, enjoying both the coolness of the cabin and your acumen.
