Air conditioning not getting cold
So just got another ranger this winter, and the guy I bought it from said the ac hasn’t worked in a year or two. I checked the Freon pressure and it had plenty of Freon. The compressor kicks on and of every 3 seconds. It never gets cold, even if I’m idling or if I’m going over 30mph. Anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to the forum
Reads like there is a blockage in the system, "compressor kicks on and of every 3 seconds" this means pressure is getting too high or too low There are two pressure switches High pressure switch prevents hoses and connections from Blowing Out Low pressure switch prevents compressor from running out of "freon"/oil and burning up Compressor sucks in "freon" from the evapotator(low pressure side) It compresses the "freon" which heats it up(high pressure side), it then goes to the condenser in front of radiator<<<<is it getting HOT, it should Condenser allows the heated "freon" to "condense", to turn back into a liquid Hot "freon" then goes to the receiver/dryer, this stores the hot "freon" and removes any moisture THEN............the hot high pressure "freon" goes through Orifice Tube/expansion valve, where it releases its pressure and heat which turns it to COLD "freon" and that travels through the Evaporator in the heater box Then back to compressor |
So any idea on what the main problem is?
