Hello, I have a 2001 dodge grand crvn... and after the winter i turned my ac on and it made this weird noise followed by a smell, kind of like a burning smell,, my husband said it needed a recharge so i took it in... the mechanic did so but he said the compressor won't kick on as he put it...he ordered a part he called "relay" but I am skeptical because he didn't seem to know what he was doing and eluded to the fact that the compressor might be gone.. please advise

I too have this problem with my 2000 Gran carvan over the winter i kept hearing this noise like hydralic air coming from under the dash board when the a/c was on and the smell was like burn wires but the smell was only when a/c was turned on. know the a/c don't blow cold air. I think is a leak and all the fluid came out. I would to know if it so but how much it would cost me to have it repaired. :roll:

Well if you can smell the difference between clutch material burning and wires burning (distinctly Different) you would know...but I suspect the clutch on the compressor...with the car off see if you can turn the clutch easily by hand. if not it's probably NG.
