I own a 95 Dodge Intrepid V6 3.5 24 valve with 120,000 miles on it, All of a sudden the compressor died on me, i've already tried to refill with R134 but as soon as the hose is hooked up and i start filling the line i hear a hizzing noise coming from the front of the engine. The first time i tried it the compressor kicked in but went out again about 10 seconds later. I then tried to use a leak stopper and a dye to try to detect if there was a leak but i wasnt able to find anything, now, I checked the fuse relay in the engine compartment and the relay itself seems to be working just fine, however if I bypass the relay and just connect 2 of the terminals with each other by using just a regular cable the compressor kicks in.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated. I live in the state of Illinois and temps up here are reaching triple digits.

Thanks.

i have the same problem right know. there are 2 sensors on your a/c lines. there is a low pressure sensor and a high pressure sensor. they are dealership only for about $110. what they do is break the electrical current if the pressure in you a/c compressor gets to high or to low. the a/c kit is called a transducer kit. i have the toggle switch right know. i think that has been causing me problems. those relays have 5 prongs for a reason. also make sure you get your coolings hfans tested too.mine burnt out after i started using that toggle switch. buy since i have done all that, it is working good know. i thought i had to replace my whole system, which i did do before i was told all the stuff i told you. if you have any questions you can reach me at [email protected]. i am not on this page alot. make sure you put intrepid in the subject line. take care. let me know if it works
