91 LOYALE A/C Belt Saver system

Featured Replies

Does anyone know or have a test procedure for the sensor that controls  the belt saver system on the A/C?

 

My A/c was cutting in and out and I adjust the sensor's standoff distance and it still cut out. I use a hack I found on this forum that worked great and the A/C blows cold enough to store food. But when you use the hack sometimes the fan control on the dash acts up, makes noise etc,

 

So if anyone knows of a test procedure to test the sensor and has any idea's please let me know. The old beast has a ton of life left in her. (yes I used beast and her in the same sentence)(sorry)

 

Ok,    Are you sure it's the compressor lock up sensor? [which would save the belts]

 

on  Loyale AC systems, there are limit switches for refrigerant pressure.  IIRC, over by the vapor recovery canister.

Check those.  Check that the system isn't over charged, unless you know it is not. 

 

It is also normal for the compressor to cycle on and off when the system is not under heavy cooling load.  There is a thermoswitch in the evaporator.  This prevents it from icing up.
