Ac become hot after replacing brakes and spark plugs?
What is your question?
Hi, so I replaced front rotors, pads and a caliber and flushed brakes fluid and replaced spark plugs but after that I turn on the AC but it doesn't cool, The ac lines aren't cool as well, I can't hear the compressor working I'm not sure if they forgot to plug a sensor or something back when they most likely replaced the plug , what is the issue here and where I should look?
How long has your 2003 Subaru Forester had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2003 Subaru Forester. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Sorry to hear. Many variables here but I would definitely start looking around for an unplugged sensor. You can find them by following the hard ac lines under the hood.
This could of course just be a weird coincidence and you have low refrigerant and a leak.
I would also contact the shop who performed the work. They should at least know that you are having an issue and they may offer to help out.

Thank you, Yah I tried to look around I couldn't find anything, i hoped you guys will guide me what sensor I exctly should look for or where, I tried to reach the shop but I didn't get respond and it's a long drive that's why I figured if it's just a sensor or something I can do it myself
Since it's been pretty cold for a-while now - I figure you probably haven't been using the air conditioner - NOW that it has warmed up - you turned on the A/C to find it isn't working properly -
Do you think it is possible this problem was present even before the they did the work and you are just now discovering it - is that a possibly??
I mean it possible but I used it almost a month ago for a little bit actually less than a month and it was fine, I'm trying to make sure they didn't unplugged something and forgot to replugged it again.
Awesome for $30 you get a gauge, freon and labor free lol. Do you know if I can use that gauge in order to tell if the compressor is damaged or not before using it? Or since it just goes to the low side I can't know? Sorry I'm not familiar with AC stuff
No problem. So there is an ac pressure switch you can check. Its basically behind the driver headlight. So follow the ac line behind the drive headlight and you should run into a switch with an electrical connector.
Another idea is to buy or rent some ac pressure gauges. Run the ac and see what the pressure reads on the high and low side. If they are equal your compressor isn't doing anything likely do to a low charge.
Report back with your findings and we can try and help out some more.

Do I really have to say"mechanic" or shop, everyone knows who "they" are , also your solution is just........
that is if it was blowing cold when you took it there....
i have no clue who they is,sorry....
From the way you answered and replied I figured you don't have common sense or logic or anything except wasting my time, good luck
thanks,good luck to you also....
