AC not working!!! The CAR WIZARD shows how to easily isolate the problem

This guy just tells you important things. It's like YouTube minus the BS and narcissism. What a guy.

I wouldnt mind paying a $1600 auto repair so much if the mechanic doing the work was this gentleman ( or maybe even one of his students - do you teach? My God, you should teach if you dont. There would be more mechanics like you out there and that would be such a good thing, such a very very good thing.). Thank you for making these videos . Im new to your channel, this is the first video ive seen and you got yourself one more loyal subscriber.

I like how this guy explains things

Don't forget to change your filters guys. If your cab filter is plugged up the blower will not pull air across the evaporator which can cause it to not work as effectively. Same for the condenser and radiator, the fan needs to pull air across the condenser and can't if it's plugged. Just some other easy checks.

I'm in the automotive industry. You can find honest mechanics that are just parts changers with no diagnostic skills, you can find loads of thieves with and without skills, but a truly honest and competent real TECHNICIAN like the Car Wizard is almost impossible to find. Good job Wiz! Lots of respect!

This summer there is a group of tiny birds called Finches that fly in on hot days when our shop doors are open. They harm nothing, they stick to the edges of the ceiling only, then fly away at the end of the day. They are annoying but I dont know what to do other than exterminate them. I dont really have the heart. So chirping might be a common theme this summer, in the background.

This is the first video I see amongst a bunch of other major auto mechanic channels, which actually explains EVERYTHING, specially the fact that replacing a damaged compressor is not the final solution. Condenser replacement is one thing that rarely gets mentioned. Thank you for the attention to detail and the very visual way in which you let us understand the process. 👌🏼

I work at an auto parts store and a lot of people have been coming in lately and buying compressors. And exactly like you said, they almost always come back complaining we sold them a bad part. Im going to share this with all my co workers.

This is hilarious, im a tech at HONDA and im literally at work, working on my 3rd a/c problem car for the day and this popped up so im watching it while the a/c machine is doing an evacuation 🤣

"You can't just buy a can..." Tell that to YouTube who just ran an ad in the midst of your video on my feed for a can of refrigerant.

Thank you! A great, detailed, easy to understand talk about our automotive AC systems. Nice to meet Mrs. Wizard too!

I love how Mr Wizard explained every single step of the troubleshooting process.

1:42 this is how you know he has experience! always check relay first before anything

Legend has it that the wizard used a switch relay to power up the sun

Other videos had me believe that the issue with my a/c system was a bad compressor. I was dreading the repair bill as, even if I was doing it myself, I knew it wouldn't be cheap. With the info you provided, I was able to diagnose the actual cause and repair it myself. All for about $50. Thank you so much.

Thanks for unraveling the mystery about these systems and what has to be done to fix it right. This is not a repair I would ever attempt but now I know my mechanic isn't padding the bill when the additional components require replacement. Much appreciated!

Two A/C stories: A couple of years back, my brother's A/C stopped working on his '05 Acura MDX (Honda Pilot) and it was the clutch coil. We were able to replace it on the car by removing a chassis brace and unbolting the compressor from the engine, but leaving the lines connected. Not a bad job, and saved a bunch of money. Last summer the A/C in my '92 Mustang 5.0 stopped working on the highway, along with the cruise control and a couple of other functions, so it was obviously a blown fuse. A new fuse was installed, and it blew immediately when the A/C was switched on. So it was a short circuit somewhere. The compressor has a short, maybe 8-9 inch long wire harness that connects it to the car body harness, and this harness has a fusible link in it. The fusible link had overheated, melting the harness to the left valve cover and shorting the power wire. I found a good used harness, installed it, and I was back in business.

Great tips Wizard. The compressor demonstration was especially "cool"

Mr. Car Wizard, that was probably the best presented and informative diy vids I have ever watched. Thank you so much.

Love your repair videos Car Wizard, absolutely helpful. Im grateful, thank you.
