In this video I show where the low side service port is and actually how to recharge the A/C. If this was helpful, subscribe and follow me on Instagram. My Instagram: / nolimitmax_1
Thank you for making a no nonsense very brief and concise video. I just want to know how to do things in seconds not in 30 min like some of the other videos. I couldn’t get the A/C Pro App to do anything on my Apple iPhone 12, so I turned to RU-vid, and thank GOD you made this awesome video. JESUS bless you always. JESUS is SEMPER FI
So when you recharge I have a v6 camaro do u go to the highest cold setting or wat you recommend I saw that u can mess up your blend door in the highest setting?
The blend door motors are weak, usually break because the motor/actuator goes out of calibration and over stroke the door. I recommend having them calibrated (using a scan tool special function HVAC system) You should be able to run at max a/c if the doors are in correct calibration. The blend door is literally a joke issue, and GM should provide an updated part considering the book job requires windshield/dash/console/steering column/full a/c evacuation, and complete removal of the air box system, splitting the air box case and reassembly...just to replace an $18.00 plastic flapper. You can do surgery with a hot knife on the drivers side and carefully cut the airbox and remove it that way, but it's sad to have to destroy the future value of your car because of such a piss-poor design and quality (or lack of) component. This video is simple and to the point, I would only ad to tip the can all the way over off and on so you get more of the PAG oil into the system (its denser and doesn't always like to lift out into the hose without a little gentle encouragement. Good Luck
@@liltweakie4325 agreed. ive had my camaro since 10' and frankly im noticing more and more what a horrible design for the components are. i mean having to do all the things you said for a piece of plastic is ridiculous, will not be buying another cam thats for sure.
Thanks for the video. Got it charged up but it seems like my actuator is stuck. All winter with no heat and now no air. Not worth paying to fix it. Last American car I'll ever buy.
Well, I don’t know for sure but this seems to be a good fix for a big percentage of people. It’s worth a try considering the cost imo. But to be sure, take it to a mechanic. Hope this is helpful!
okay, i would try to recharge the a/c. there could be other issues and this isnt a guaranteed fix for everyone because some people may have other issues but if it does work it will be the cheapest.
@@reybat4969 so actually, right after I commented, I went out and tried again. The hose still wouldn’t clamp down, but I just held it in place while I recharged the system. All good now! 🥶❄️
@@lilyelizabeth8525 I stopped using my AC due to the high rate of blend door failures. Ideally you want to limit your cold side setting to one "click" left of the first blue dot. Even then you may experience a blend door failure over time due to other factors, but this setting limits the number of times the actuator stresses the blend door.
the process will be similar as far as how to use the products in the video. the only difference will be where the port is. I do not have a 2017 and am not sure where that port is but what you are looking for is the low side service port location. Once you find that, you can follow the steps in the video after. Have a nice day.
Not sure about that. Can’t hurt to try if it’s not blowing cold air but I don’t remember a whining noise. Hopefully someone else sees your comment and responds with an answer. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
@@samsondog2182 Nope. Have been too lazy (and mainly poor) to figure out what the actual problem is. I'm also almost done paying this car off so I'm just gonna trade it in for a 6th gen at some point.
