My commpressor in my 2001 taurus runs fine and the coolant levels are good, but no cold air. I recently stoped the compressors cycling problem after a mechanic actually plugged in the power and control plug incorrectly and almost bent off a terminal, and i also jumpe the cycling switch once which lso helped fix my compressor which is running good now. Any idea why my air still isn't getting cold?
When you say coolant levels, are you meaning engine coolant? The AC system uses a special refrigerant which, if low, can cause the compressor to fail in addition to not providing any cold air.
Another thing: Just because the compressor is turning, doesn't mean that it is doing anything. If a seal/valve is missing/worn/bent then no cold air for you.
Don't forget to have the condenser checked while you are at it. AC service inspection is usually pretty inexpensive if you don't need any major parts. If you don't have the tools to test refrigerant flow dynamics and pressure levels, then perhaps a trip to a shop that does would be in your car's best interest. :-)
