Problem overview

Some Ram ProMaster 1500 owners report experiencing AC system failures characterized by a burning smell and warm air due to a condenser hole. These issues may stem from a malfunctioning compressor, which can produce a burning odor, or from a dirty condenser that accumulates grime and particles, leading to reduced efficiency and overheating. Additionally, a blown AC fuse is a common culprit that can prevent the air conditioning from functioning properly. Furthermore, a hole in the condenser can result in a refrigerant leak, causing the system to blow warm air instead of cooling effectively. To address these problems, owners are advised to inspect the compressor for damage, check the AC fuse for functionality, repair or replace the condenser if necessary, and recharge the refrigerant to restore optimal cooling performance.
