Why Isn’t My AC Turning On?

Have you ever hopped into your car on a hot day, only to find that the air conditioning isn't working?
It can be frustrating and uncomfortable, especially during warmer months!

Let’s explore some common reasons why your car’s AC might not be turning on and what you can do about it.

1. Blown FuseOne of the first things to check is the AC Fuse. A blown Fuse can prevent the AC System from receiving power.

2. Electrical IssuesFaulty wiring or electrical components can also cause the AC to malfunction.

3. Low Refrigerant LevelsThe AC system requires a sufficient amount of refrigerant (often referred to as Freon) to operate effectively. Low refrigerant levels due to leaks can prevent the AC compressor from engaging. One of our certified Mechanics can check for leaks and recharge the refrigerant if needed!

4. Faulty CompressorThe AC compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the system. If the compressor is faulty or worn out, it may not engage, preventing the AC from cooling the air.

5. Broken AC ControlsSometimes, the issue could be as simple as a broken AC control panel or a malfunctioning AC switch.

6. Cabin Air FilterA clogged or dirty Cabin Air Filter can restrict airflow and impact AC performance. At Frank’s Servicenter we check and replace the Cabin Air Filter if it’s dirty or overdue for replacement.
