Robster4777 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I am on my second aftermarket AC compressor. One thing I noticed about both the old one as well as the current compressor is that they never seem to cycle off when turned on. I know there is enough freon and it works just fine. Shouldn't the compressor cycle on and off at times? It works great otherwise. Do I possibly have a sensor that is not working? Any thoughts welcome.

Slartibartfast Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) HA-14 of the '99 manual says this is normal. The compressor varies its output internally (swash plate design) to keep the system at the required pressure, so it doesn't have to cycle. Looks like it only disengages if the HVAC is turned off, if it's too cold outside, or if there's a gas pressure issue.

I do appreciate that and now I can rest easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
