History:
I picked up my 06 Suburban 1500 last year around June (?) 2020.
Freon was low due to a leaking low side schrader valve. Replaced that.
Had the AC evacuated /filled. The first time I had it done the AC wasn't working quite right so we replaced the low pressure cycling switch and the high pressure transducer switch in the high side line.
Evac'd and refilled again.
AC worked great for the rest of the summer. I haven't used the AC since last October or so.
During the winter I realized the defrost wasn't blowing hot air. The compressor doesn't engage when in defrost mode. Didn't really need the defrost here in the desert.
The heater was working intermittently, figured that was a sticking blend door. Heat has been fine past few months with a clicking sound sometimes on full hot temp. Again, desert so not that bad.
So here's my dilemma:
Today was 80+ degrees and I tried my AC during my lunch break. No compressor engagement.
I tried swapping relays, checked the AC fuse, tried jumping the switch on the accumulator, unplugged and reconnected the high side connector and the power connector at the compressor. Nothing. No engagement.
Next step is checking power to the compressor but I need to pick up a new multimeter at work.
I will get my AC gauges on there to check static pressures.
Living in Las Vegas I need to have this squared away before summer.
I know this is a long winded post but I am trying to get all the info out.
