Why is the Wuling Hongguang air conditioning compressor not working?
2 Answers
Multiple reasons may cause this issue: 1. The compressor itself is faulty and cannot start. 2. There is a problem with the power supply to the compressor. 3. The compressor lacks refrigerant and cannot start. 4. The vehicle's air conditioning control panel is damaged. Any of these issues can lead to the compressor not working. For more details, please see below: Additional information: For the air conditioning system of a motor vehicle to function, the compressor must be operational. The prerequisite for the compressor to work is that the motor vehicle must be started. Once the vehicle is started, the power transmission system will provide part of the power to the compressor to make it work. For small-displacement vehicles, after the compressor starts working, there will be a noticeable decrease in vehicle power. At this time, whether overtaking or accelerating, it is necessary to downshift to avoid insufficient power.
I just encountered a situation where the Wuling Hongguang's air conditioning compressor wasn't working, what a headache! It happened during a long summer trip, the car was as hot as a steamer, and not a bit of cold air came out of the vents. I thought about it myself, it might be an electrical issue, like a blown AC fuse—you can find it in the engine compartment fuse box; or a loose plug causing unstable signals. If the belt is loose or broken, the compressor won't start either. At the repair shop, the mechanic said it could also be insufficient refrigerant, a system leak triggering the protection mechanism to lock the compressor. It's recommended to first check the fuse and plug yourself, if that doesn't work, quickly find a professional. Delaying it, driving in high temperatures can easily lead to fatigue and accidents, not worth the risk.
