Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he has a look at a 2007 Hyundai Sonata 3.3l that has an A/C system that is blowing warm air. He started out thinking it may just have developed a leak and lost its refrigerant but quickly finds out it has a blown fuse. That leaves one big question...What blew the fuse!? Stay tuned to find out!

Will you fix my A/C? lol I don't have all these fancy tools. Checked fuses but can't locate the A/C relay on my 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT.
Ac Compressor Clutch Drawing More Power Then it should Be Good Video Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
good job brother!!!
Best mechanic in the world
"Who did you copy that off of?"
You guys have been together for a while, haven't you.
Since it’s north east have you thought of cleaning the contacts since corrosion is a norm up there! More corrosion(oxidation) means more current pull
Great video. A demonstration of what’s missing with many “mechanics” these days, the ability to troubleshoot. Most now a days find a code and change a part. It either works or they shrug their shoulders and change another part.
Good works
Congratultios my name is Juan I live un pasadena tx
Mid 40 degrees and people want A/C? I think you meant Polar bears 🐻❄️….HA
This is what I pray hope is being done to my car when I take it
My Hyundai have a similar problem.. the thing is that I took it to a long drive and after 4 fuses blown in the trip blown just one then all good for 3 weeks and know is every other week blowing fuses.. do you thing that is a short inside the ac compressor.. cause I don't see any wire strip..any idea is apriciated?
What are the symptoms of a bad AC clutch?
Nice when you started the hunt my first thought was a blown fuse or a seized fan clutch hadent contemplated a high energy draw from a bad working clutch
Hi, from where I can get the wiring diagram for the 2018 nissan altima front emergency braking radar sensor? I'm getting U1000 and U1001 DTC.
"And sharks with laser beams"
Awesome diagnosis. I wish I could trust every shop to do this kind of work.
05 sonata… compressor not engaging. Relay not clicking even with new relay . How can I track down what’s wrong. Thanks
2012 sonata. Air was cool but not sufficient. Bought a refill can, added some, air completely went hot never to blow cold again. I heard hissing inside the car, can't hear the compressor kick on either, hissing did eventually stop. Did i completely f**k myself and my air conditioning system????
Same thing happened with my 06 3.3 💀
Most wholesome mechanic in America
My a/c isn't engaging$800 fix 😭
Too much talking, don’t explain anything about the ac problem in the car,
Can you help me sir? My hyundai tucson 2016 ac conpressor not working. I check the wire of compressor but it gives 3.2 volts. What is the problem sir?
Your wife is funny.
Please help. My car is a Hyundai. The air isn’t blowing. What does that mean?
That compressor internally is shot. You can hear it has a grinding noise!
My 2008 Hyundai Sonata's AC goes out every time it gets hot outside. No one can figure it out.
Same car, installed a new serpentine belt, now my ac is blowing out hot air. Tried to refill the Ac with a can, and it wouldn’t take it.. checked the fuses, nothing blown.. I’m not sure what to do now.. any info would help! Thanks
I have the same car. I was trying to recharge my AC but the gauge needle was reading in the red. What does that mean???? Over pressured
Can you replace the clutch without removing the a/c compressor from the car? Great video.
so what was going on with this car's AC? Was it blowing hot or not blowing at all?
It is crazy how women always want to interrupt our men stuff with some phone bla bla bla…
Watched you while looking at mom's car. Already checked fuse and swapped starter relay for ultimate check. Without your fancy scantool, but your brilliant hypothesis and your findings of the correct resistance, the only other thing I could think to do was check the positive battery terminal that was shielded by a plastic cover. I lifted the cover to find massive corrosion and burnt plastic. Installed new terminal and the compressor is behaving. Will get a good voltmeter next just to check amperage. You Rock! from Clermont, FL
You are an inspiration to me.. Keep up the good work!
My sonata ac runs fine and cold once i get my RPMs up to 4500. Can it be ac control valve ($17) or maybe clutch? What makes that clutch engage?
What Scanner and data packages do you use.
Put in a 30 amp fuse. All fixed.
Currently ha ha
You need a pocket protector
Great Video. Thanks for passing on the knowledge
One thing that a lot of people dont seem to understand. Wiring is sized according to the total maximum current draw of all devices on that circuit. Fuses are sized to protect the wire, not the device.
You have the coolest toys Eric!
i like your video,you are great and Master Technician
Just use a 1/2 can of Brake Cleaner on the coil and douche it out with a bottle of rubbing alcohol❗
It'll either clear the junk causing the short or kill it completely, same result if it doesn't. 😋
Another Great Video! Ya gatta have the tools to verify the problem. Scopes, Amp Clamps, DMM's, Pressure Gauges, Pressure Sensors and more!
Oh ya…….Scope On A Rope too, can't forget that guy!
I know I'm a year and change late to the party but… I'm a aircraft tech that grew up working on cars in my dad's shop. I ran into the same issue on my Sonata. I went about it a little differently and with happy home owner crappy tools. Came to same conclusion as you did just took a little longer. Lol. Great job man! Just found your channel while looking for a video on how fuel pump comes out. Most of the time I don't listen to idiots on YouTube I just watch to see where and how it comes out. With you my friend… I will leave the volume on! Your not one of the normal idiots on here! Thanks! Look forward to seeing AND LISTENING to your videos.
Hi,
I have a 2009 Sonata 2.4 liter engine. Can I replace the AC compressor clutch coil without removing compressor from the car?
hey eric, man i have really enjoyed watching your videos. i work in a garage and have watched several of your vids and they have helped me tremndously. keep putting out there and hope everyone is having a blessed day. big hello from Alabama
I said you need a puller to pull the puller (fuse) at the exact time you did. Got a good laugh out of that one. Thanks for the video.
