AC not cold, Elec Fan not Running, Compressor works
Hi all,
This is pertain to my 2004/06 production X5 3.0
After replacing the blown expansion tank and hoses, it seems that the AC not cold problem still persist.
So I have my brother start the car and the condenser electric fan in front of the radiator is not spinning. I haven't check the fuse yet, but the blade spins freely. AC is not cold, the compressor turns on and off, Freon level at 55 psi at 100F, which seems correct, and when compressor stops spinning it goes up to 70-90 psi, when the compressor kicks in the Low reads 55 psi. The compressor cycles and the high side aluminum tube feels very hot to the touch. I suppose the compressor is compacting the Freon. Do you guys think it is the fan problem which makes the AC not cold? What other test should I be doing or should I just order a new fan?
By the way, no fault code shows on dashboard regarding Fan not working. which puzzles me, I have notice the plug on he fan shroud is very hard snap back in, would that cause the problem?
Thanks!!
