1997 Mustang GT AC & Radiator Fan Weird Issues
What is your question?
Hello, i have a 1997 mustang GT, the AC used to work fine and one day it just stopped blowing cold. A month after that the radiator fan stopped working.
I have
- Replaced Radiator fan (Still didn't work, wired it to a toggle switch inside)
- Replaced AC Compressor with 06 GT - (Didn't work)
- Replaced ECT sensor
- Replaced Low & High AC ports (Was losing some pressure out of the high so i replaced both)
- Replaced CCRM. (It was old so i decided to just replace anyways)
I don't have any customs tunes or anything.
When i replaced CCRM i vacuumed the system and put freon in, the AC clutch kicked ON and OFF allowing freon for a couple seconds then turned off and never came back on. PSI at 45, i can keep on pushing it but itll go into the red. (Happened once and had to flush it again).
CCRM allowed radiator fan to kick on ONLY if AC is on MAX. Fan turns on for about a minute then shuts back off (Had to wire it back to the switch)
Any help is appreciated, Thank you!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Replacing the CCRM seemed to help a bit
How long has your 1997 Ford Mustang had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1997 Ford Mustang. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Sounds like you have:
a) a restriction in your system causing high pressure
b) no business charging your system as you're damaging our environment and have no EPA certification to do so, nor equipment to properly deal with refrigerant.
c) made a big mistake by putting a compressor on the vehicle that doesn't belong there.
Simply put, you need professional guidance. Put 1997 Mustang components on the vehicle. Have a qualified, certified AC technician work on the vehicle and its refrigerant. Have the orifice tube checked for debris.
