It funny and must be spreading this no a/c issue. Mine is not working either. Took my Aveo to my cousins repair shop and hooked it up to the machine, checked the charge in the system, and it was full, checked all the fuses and relay for it, all are good, press the button on the dash, light comes on,and no a/c!! Damn, I hope I'm not off to the dealer again. I'm out of warranty!! Any suggestions, or something I missed? The compressor clutch does not seem to be engaging!!

1. Pop hood
2. start car
3. turn ac on
4. get out of car and go take a look at ac compressor.
5. if clutch is not engaging, you will notice. When AC on, it clicks on and off every minute or so.

[deniswhite1]

130 for parts and 230 for labour, refrigerant and leak test, so 360$ all together

@ontarian_frog
So when the Ac Clutch is engaging or clicking on and off every minuet or so and no cold air is coming out still inside the car what would be the recommended next step?

I just popped the hood on mine and listened for the click but it was clicking faster then every minute.

if you are trying to fix it yourself, then jump the pressure switch and see if it stays on.. if it does you either need a switch or a charge (or uncharge). If it still cycles on and off post back.

Rabbit Thanks for chiming in. I've seen you suggest this before in other threads. Where exactly is the pressure switch? Can you post a picture? I'm going to take a picture and post it and I'll label what I think is the Pressure switch if you can't and maybe we can figure it out that way.

A little back story to this ac situation. Back in the beginning of June I had taken the Car to Firestone they checked it and replaced the service port seals . They also recharged the system. It was cold for about the duration of the ride home which was about 4 miles or like 10-15 mins. The next time i go to turn the AC on no cold at all.

I already spent $140 at Firestone. I don't see any pressure readings on the paperwork they gave me then so I'm feeling a little ripped off. I'm trying not to spend to much on this. I was fixing to just buy a brand new AC compressor with a new clutch already attached and have a local mechanic put it it and recharge. Before I jump the gun i'm just trying to trouble shoot this myself to see if maybe there is a more cost effective solution.
