2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland — AC Compressor Not Engaging
I’m looking for some advice on the A/C system in my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland.
The A/C was working perfectly before we left the Jeep in an airport parking lot for about a week. When we came back and drove it, the A/C was blowing warm air. I checked under the hood and noticed that the A/C compressor isn’t spinning/engaging when the A/C is turned on.
I have:
- replaced 10 amp fuse for ac Compressor clutch
- bought a can of refrigerant, however, the gauge seemed to act strangely—it appeared to be spun all the way around, and when I pulled the trigger, nothing seemed to happen. We weren’t sure if the gauge/tool was defective or if we were doing something wrong, so we returned it.
- took it to the dealer for an A/C inspection. They quoted us around $2,800 to replace the compressor and some other components. I’ll attach a picture of their quote.
What I’m trying to figure out is whether the compressor actually needs to be replaced or if there’s something else that could be preventing it from engaging, such as a refrigerant pressure issue, electrical problem, relay/fuse issue, wiring, sensor, etc.
It seems strange that the A/C worked perfectly before sitting in the airport parking lot for a week and then suddenly stopped working.
What would you guys check/diagnose before spending $2,800 on repairs on a 3 year old vehicle?
Attached is the ac check I paid for and the quote they gave me.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
