Just tossed in a 4.7k resistor at the connector on top of the evap housing in my 2010 silverado and ac is cold AF! Haven’t had ac for the six years I’ve owned the truck lmao

How did you determine which wires to use? I have a Lexus RX350 that's confirmed by a mechanic to have a bad evap temp sensor. The cheapest quote I got was $1,000 for labor to tear the dash out to replace it. I have a mechanic background and would like to just bypass it but electrical is not my strong suit. How did you determine which wires to use?
How did you know which wires to use. My daughters is a 2013 so I'm thinking it will probably be different on hers. Pretty big design change in 2013. Great video
@@LeoEvangelistayou didn't answer his question as to "how do you know which wires to use"? I have this exact same issue on my Lexus RX350 and I have confirmed by a mechanic it's the evap temp sensor. The labor is $1,000 to replace it as the entire dash has to be pulled. I would like to do the bypass as you did here but how do I determine which wires to use to bypass it?
I like this idea but could you do a video where you actually show what you did step by step so that we can duplicate it also where did you get the resistor maybe a source that we could all access...
Turn your AC off by flipping the actual AC button. When you initially turn it back on, you are forcing the compressor to turn on, and it should get cold. However as it runs, it uses that temperature sensor to let it know what is going on and if it is failing it will not continue to stay cold. However, if you turn the AC off, or in some cases you actually have to shut the engine off and wait a few seconds, then turn the engine back on and the AC should start blowing cold shortly, this tells you that it's this sensor. I had the same issue as you and it was my evaporator temperature sensor as he explains in this video
Evaporator that cold will be low freon charge or low air flow, or both, or the air temperature is cold going into the cabin air filter. 1st thing is to make sure the air behind the glove box isn't cold, if so it might be a leak in plastic between the evaporator and the dash vents. Next thing is to make sure the cabin air filter is not plugged up. If neither then you're likely low on freon. The hoses connected to the compressor are rubber and if old will likely be slowly leaking freon. I don't know enough about the expansion valve to speculate on it. Evac/recharge should be
I have 2012 , i did the same as you but my ac now only blow cold when get dark and my automatic headlights come on , if my automatic headlights don’t switch on my ac dont work
Did this on my 2012 Fusion Sport and it blows ice cold. Works well in the Texas 100F+ heat

I will probably freeze up on long trips. I guess when you feel the air slow down and warm up shut it off for a while.
Just did this in my kids car 👍 it works

Me puedes ayudar a saber bien la descripción de la resistencia que usaste los wats y los Homs

Got a 2016 fusion, pressures are fine, a/c compressor take 5 min to kick in then works great. Any ideas

Hey man so how did you know it's the second and fourth hole? I have dual climate ford fusion 2010
SE and SEL have different plugs
@@crispybacon2588 yeah I ended up just changing out the evap sensor through the dash, problem solved
So what was it doing? My truck is going from blowing cold to not so cold
That sounds like the evaporator temperature sensor. My Lexus is doing the same thing.
Where did you find the resistor? I’m looking to do this on my Mustang, but I thought I had to buy the temp sensor and try to put it into the harness.
Local hardware store
How did you plug it in?

Would 22k resistor work, I tried 33k but it kept freezing up evap in like 10 mins

@@dagmaloingot it fixed. Bad evap sensor, notorious for going bad on certain ford models. Cold AC now 😎
What was the AC doing? Not getting cold? Shutting off??
I’m having a problem with mine not blowing cold air, it’s bc the temp sensor is broken. So it’s reading the AC at the wrong temp. Hope this helped
It was blowing ambient air
Will that work with a 2008?
It will work with all vehicles that have an evaporator temperature sensor. You are just bypassing the sensor
I have 2012 , i did the same as you but my ac now only blow cold when get dark and my automatic headlights come on , if my automatic headlights don’t switch on my ac dont work
Where did you find the resistor?
You can order them on amazon just type 37k ohm resistor
