AC condenser

[pat3d]

Hello,

My AC condenser has a leak and I will replace it by myself.

I have one question: do I have to change the cooling fans in front of the condenser as well ?

When I turn the AC on, the fans are not turning. Is it normal or they have to always be turning when AC is on ?

Thanks,

Pat

If your fans are not working, yes, you will need to replace them if they are bad. Before doing it jump them with a hot wire to verify they are fried.
Without the fans working, your engine will overheat quickly in the summer weather.

Hi Mike,

I have one question: there is no refrigerant as all has been evaporated since 2 years. Is it going to have pressure in the system when I'm going to remove the pipes connected to the condenser ?

Thanks,

Pat
