Thank you for your video brother. Really chill and informative video without extra stuff. Thank you alot. 🙏🙏🙏
This fix applies for the G37 as well which is great for me 😁
Gracias por tú video . Buen trabajo..
Hell yea , i just fried my ac compressor to the point it locked up nd rippes my belt idk how complicated it was going to be to drop the ac compressor. But after watching this bro it legit gonna help me out alot 💪🕺 seems fair and simple
Glad it’s helping you out 👍
Question tho i got 80% of evrrything off now. But the last 2 bolts im having problems with is the one in the back nd the bottom one. What exactly did you use to get those 2 off?
@@Tonelowks15 I don’t remember off the top of my head what I used but It was probably a deep socket with a small extension. Possibly even just a deep socket from what I can see looking back at the video
For anyone who works on this same car in the future, it has a cool feature where you press the button that tells the car your driver's side front door is closed 5 times rapidly and it puts the car in a test mode and cycles a bunch of stuff including the AC compressor clutch to see if it functions even if your freon levels aren't right. Real easy way to test if the compressor clutch is the problem or not.
I’ll have to try this out next time I have one of these to work on
What button?
@@Max-lx8xk it's kind of a button, it's just the little thing that gets pushed down when you close the door telling the car the door is open/closed. Press that 5 times fast and it will go into the diagnostic mode. I'm pretty sure it was just that one button 5 times but if that doesn't work for some reason search for it on the infinity forums. I used it to figure out my AC clutch was shot while the system had zero freon in it
@@kylebusc3624 thanks
Are there any fuses or relays that might be burnt out
He literally does his work with one hand tied behind his back...
Nice Job!
On start up my G makes a loup blowing noise..what could that be?
A few days ago I had my car parked for a few minutes in roughly 90 degree heat. Had the AC running at near full speed. I'd been driving for about an hour prior. Got back in my car, turned on the AC and the car started to shudder, and felt as if it was gonna a turn off so instinctively I revved it. The car ended up shutting off and the check battery light came on for a few seconds after I turned it back on. AC stopped working afterwards. Any ideas on what it could be? I don't hear the compressor kick in when I turn on the AC.
It could be that your compressor is about to seize up and that’s why it stalled on you. Or it is seized and that’s why it’s not working anymore. The battery light coming on after it stalled is normal, only if it was still on when you have the car running then you have an issue with the charging system
Mine might be going out, i recently recharged it and it blows cold down 40 but once in awhile it stops working and blows hot but when i turn it off and on it seems to work again. When it stops blowing cold, i notice clutch still cycles.
If you were able to get some ac gauges on there when it isn’t working you could see where the pressures are at. When the compressors are weak the low side pressure will be on the higher side. Atleast That’s what it sounds like to me
@@fixitish if i overcharged it, it wouldnt be blowing cold right? Yeah i need some gauges.
@fix it ish I have an 08 g35x can a compressor still be good and just the clutch be bad and for this year do you have to replace the whole thing or can you just do the clutch coil
luis ortiz not always is the whole compressor bad. Most of the time is really just the clutch that goes bad but we end up replacing the whole compressor it’s just easier that way. Less work to be done. You’ll still need to remove the compressor from the car because it has very limited space. Or remove stuff infront of the compressor that will be in the way.
I’m getting it fixed rn
Can u make a list of tools needed to do this job ty
In the description there’s a list of the tools I used for this job, I hope it helps you out
bro can you make a list if possible of the tools I will need to complete this job thanks and I greatly appreciate it.
gusguts44 I’ll try and make a list of the tools I used and put it in the description
@@fixitish awesome thanks bud im going to do this on my infiniti and want to make sure I have all the tools needed and ready. Thanks again for the great video.
gusguts44 I put the tools I used for that in the description wasn’t too many tools, good luck with your repair
Sup bro!! I know this vid is old but to me it’s new. My ac has been perfect up til today. Started my car and turned on the ac. The car instantly started to shudder and I can smell burning rubber from the ac vents. Car didn’t shut off but I did turn off the ac. I checked the belt and everything is in tact. Drove it home and tried turning on the ac but only get hot air. The fan and engine idle changed but no ac. I checked all the fuses and nothings blown. The ac clutch is also not engaged when ac is on. Could it be the ac clutch or do you think my ac compressor is fried?
I’m having the same problem, did you figure it out?
So I had a similar issue and mechanic recommended the compressor a while back so I swapped out the compressor for a new one to then notice the condensor leaking… changed that myself as well but now my comressor doesn’t engage. I’ve filled it with the desired amount but it just goes up and slowly drops but there’s no leak. I’ve been told since the compressor isn’t engaging it’s not moving the Freon so kinda stuck right now with the compressor not engaging have any recommendations ? Also has a new pressure switch
I would go back and make sure you didn’t leave anything unplugged or that the connectors are fully plugged in. Double check everything you did, even check the charge to make sure it didn’t leak again. I’ve had that happen I think it’s good and it leaked overnight.
hi! i know this comment is so late on this video but im hoping you might answer my questions! so our g35 ac was perfect until got into a little fender bender but it was minor and is on the passenger side mostly on the headlight not damaging any internal components or anything but anyways the ac stopped working immediately after that. there isnt any leaks and the air still blows just extremely hot. just a few days ago when it was raining i tried to see if it would work since it was getting so humid with the windows up and it magically turned on for about 10 min and started blowing hot again. we are here in surprise and its been so hot this summer in az and im not sure if i can go any longer without it! please help
do you think its a fuse or something electrical or do you think it could be something else?
@@caprisun444 this is probably gonna be an issue within your wiring since it works sometimes and then other times it doesn’t. I see lots of cars that have issues after accident that had the wiring damaged. Even if it’s not anywhere near the ac or Looks like it reached the ac wiring another area could have been damaged and those wires could lead to the compressor or high pressure sensor.
So my car is the same as this one and my ac turns on but blows hot. I thought it needed a recharge and when I go to do it I’m making sure the ac is on high and on the lowest setting then I put the hose on the L valve and it goes straight into the red zone. What should I be checking for? Thank you in advance!
If it already has a charge I’d check voltage going to the compressor. If that’s good then your probably have a problem at the compressor clutch. If you have no voltage at the compressor then you have a different issue
@thepiners check the ambient sensor you might have to replace it. but I guarantee you that's the problem its located between the engine and fan it's a blk looking like sensor
How much was this repair?
hey i have a 2009 g37 that has a weird issue where it as a delay start about 5 mins(clutch does engage) has issue with stop and go traffic and i hear kind a weird sound when the ac is on that changes with engine RPM
zdarkassassins hmm that’s a weird one with it not starting for 5mins. That could maybe be a relay problem or a pressure switch. Just make sure to check the charge on the ac system first. As for the noise that could be the bearing on the compressor. Or the clutch going bad.
@@fixitish it was recharged and at night it takes less time to starting cooling
Are you located in Phoenix? Mine was good the next day I turn it on and it only blows hot air it was working fine before what do you recommend me to do?
Bryan Montes yes I’m in Phoenix. First I’d hook up some guages and see what the pressures are make sure you don’t have a leak.
On the pressure gauges after I vac the system. & recharge afterwards what numbers am I looking for on my H/L gauges. Don’t wanna overcharge the Compressor & end up doing the same job over again..
I have 08 G35x does the same apply for my vehicle?
Emmanuel Oge it’s gonna be different on every vehicle and the weather your in is also gonna make a difference. I’m here in Phoenix az so right now that it’s hot let’s say 100+ I should see about 40-45 low side and about 220-250 on the high side.
Emmual Oge. A fresh charge after a vacuum, put what the manufacture recommends. There should be a sticker under
I just got a new AC compressor in my 08 Infiniti g35x about 3 weeks ago. It’s back to it’s BS not working . In the very hot days , it just blows hot air but on a cloudy day it seems to be working good and cold . What can be the problem ?
I’d check the charge and make sure it’s not low. If it is you may have a leak somewhere or when it was charged it wasn’t charged to the proper amount
Mine has a hissing sound when I tried recharging the system. You think it's the valve? The hissing came out below the air intake. TiA
Alvaro Silva the hissing is a leak so make sure it’s not leaking from the orings that go from the lines to the compressor.
@@fixitish thanks I was thinking the same unless the lines have a hole which I dought. Thanks bro.
Alvaro Silva you can add more of a charge to it and spray it down with soapy water and see where it bubbles out that’s gonna show you where the leak is
I have 07 g35 sedan,
And having ac clutch issue. Would you please
Tell me what is the part number or anything make it specific to get the right compressor to my car ? Because i have seen different models and styles for the same model.
Also, if it possible, where did you buy a used ac compressor?
Thank you
TheXxXxX86 I got the ac compressor from LKQ it’s an auto recycler. I think they only asked me if it was a 2dr or 4dr but I believe that year they had 2 different engines, vq35de and vq35hr that should be the difference.
fix it ish
Do you need to replace any other parts related to the A.C system when you replacing the ac compressor?
TheXxXxX86 it’s better if you do the ac kit but in this case it only needed the compressor and the customer didn’t want to pay to do the rest of the stuff
So my AC compressor top mounting bolt is rounded and stripped, and I have no swing room to hammer the extractor on there because of the fender. Where do I go from here?
Depths I would try and cut it or break it if possible.
Depths if you have some space maybe with an extension or prybar hit the extractor onto the stripped bolt
fix it ish I’ll continue to maneuver to find momentum to snug the extractor on. If all fails. I’m willing to cut it off
Tks
Did you have to put any oil in it or what should you look for to know if you need any oil or not?
I did add some oil to it. I tried to drain out as much as I could that was in the used one and put in 5oz of oil in. I believe it takes 6oz with a new dry compressor.
Hey what’s up bro, are by any chance are you in the Los Angeles or Surrounding Areas?
No I’m in Phoenix az
@fixitish I'm having a issue with my g37 blowing cold air on the driver side warm on the passenger side also it gets hot when stopped cool when driving I checked the charge says it was good what could the issue be? Thanks in advance.
Hmm still sounds like it could be an issue with the charge. It could be a few things causing it like if it has individual temp controls for the driver and passenger the actuator could be stuck on the side that isn’t working. I would start with a recharge to make sure that’s not the issue first. Make sure the cooling fan is working as well
@@fixitish thank you Sir, I appreciate it
Do I need to vacuum out the refrigerant before starting? This is going to be a project for me. Not a mechanic. Easier with a belt tool to loosen belt? How long is your extension bar? Last question, how long should this process take?
Alberto Solano yes if your system still has a charge you need to get it out. It’s way easier with the belt too but not necessary to do the job. As for the extension looks like I used a 8in extension and not being a mechanic I’d say take your time and spend a whole day on it. Took me 2hrs but I do this on a daily basis
fix it ish Figured I may as well change the belt (127k miles), clean throttle plates, and clean MAF sensor while I'm at it. Haha.
I don't have anything to remove refrigerant. A leak test was done and nothing is leaking. Haven't tested anything electrical. Figured I'd just change the compressor because the clutch doesn't engage at all
Alberto Solano you can get a cheap test light to test for voltage on the wiring side. Or maybe have someone test it for you before you go any replace the compressor. If you do that and the determine the compressor clutch is no good you can have them also recover the refrigerant
fix it ish what should I expect to pay for them to do that?
fix it ish test light? Or volt meter?
Hi, My car ac compressor works stop when i accelerate , fan blower working only compressor not working give me some suggestion what i do ? Im already check with computer but not show there
I’d check the pressures to make sure it’s not under or overcharged.
@@fixitish thanks already done by mechanic
@@jaspreetsanghera9694 what ended up being the problem?
@@fixitish sorry bro i don’t know bcoz im not available there and also not asking to mechanic
Is their a specific number or brand of oil for the compressor
No specific brand, it takes pag 46 oil
Hey, I have a unique issue. So my compressor wants to turn off 5-15 seconds anytime its on by itself, however I can use the climate control to forcefully turn the compressor on and it stays on and works perfectly. Do you think this could be the AC refrigerant switch on the condenser causing this? For some reason the cabin air temperature sensor does not read accurately after I put a brand new one on from the dealership...
It’s possible it’s that switch. It sounds like a low refrigerant condition with it turning on and off
@@fixitish thanks. One thing I noticed is my cabin air temp sensor reading -22 even tho I just bought a brand new one from the dealership. It’s not always -22 but it’s reading wrong temp. I had one place tell me it’s my ac amplifier unit but not sure.
@@rexxor4219 it’s really easy to damage those sensors. It might just be bad even tho it’s new and oem
What about the oil do we just not add any oil to it? That's sarcastic but that was a pretty important step nobody post videos about how to add oil or the amount to add.
You are correct I didn’t talk at all about the pag oil for the compressor. I’m going to make sure to put that in the description.
How do you remove all the refrigerant?
Terry1212 I have an ac recovery machine so I use that but you can take it to a shop to have the refrigerant removed. They shouldn’t charge too much to do that
Hey! My 08 g35x is blowing warm air all of a sudden. And I am hearing a weird noise when I'm driving..
Brittany Morrison Does it make the noise while the car is idling with the ac on only?
@@fixitish no I hear when I drive without the ac. I was thinking maybe the brake.. but the ac started blowing hot do I have no turned it on since.
Brittany Morrison well these problems are kinda hard to diagnose without actually seeing the car. The ac is start with checking pressures, if they don’t move then the compressor clutch isn’t engaging then you can go about diagnosing why the clutch isn’t engaging.
Brittany Morrison you can email me or msg me on Instagram and I can try and help you diagnose it but it’s still gonna be hard since I’m not actually there with the car

Insta @fixitish
When checking the clutch, you forgot to ground the other side of the clutch. LOL
My ac stopped blowing cold. Just hot. After emptying the system I attempted to recharge and it instantly shot into the red. Any idea?
Broken Jester what are you using to recharge?
@@fixitish the dumb method of autoparts store recharge kits
Broken Jester if it’s still in the red on those I’d probably make sure the compressor clutch is engaging. If it isn’t then you may have other issues.
@@fixitish I don't believe it is
@broken jester check the ambient sensor you might have to replace it. but I guarantee you that's the problem its located between the engine and fan it's a blk looking like sensor
I have a 2007 Infiniti G35X sedan I'm just getting a used AC compressor in the guys trying to take it out the old car and can't get some screw out, he said he's been working on it since 10 a.m. and now it's 3:30 p.m. I wonder how long did it take you to complete the job?
STREET SURVIVOR not that long. It took about 2hrs
hi my a/c not work can you help
linh dang I can try and help you diagnose your ac problem
Is it the same for a 2008 g37s?
MERIOOO not sure if it’s exactly the same but should be similar since this is an vq35hr and the g37 is vq37hr
I have the same exact car and the A/C it’s not working, the compressor it’s not kicking, it blow hot air, it doesn’t have refrigerant, I tried charging it and the compressor started making a noise like an old engine, and my engine turned off. What would it be? Someone told me it’s the compressor but I have not idea if it’s that.
Nestor Blanco more then likely the compressor is seized or on its way out if it turned your car off.
Thank you, do you recommend to replace the ac condenser as well if replacing the compressor??
And the reason why it’s empty of refrigerant it’s because of the compressor or it has a leak?
Nestor Blanco it could be that the compressor seized and cracked then it would be leaking from you compressor but you won’t know until you get to working on it. If it did seize your gonna have to do a flush on the system and replace a few parts in the process.
fix it ish thank you very much.
Where did you purchase the a/c compressor from?
Tay Dixon it was purchased from LKQ
You had to pull it off the used vehicle yourself?
No it was called in for and delivered to the shop
I got the ac compressor kit online. Do you recommend also changing the expansion valve?
O.G. Silent if you have everything I would change it. I usually go with oem when changing the expansion valve but if you have it I would change it and have everything new
fix it ish thanks for the reply, I was just trying to avoid tearing out the dash to get to the expansion valve on my g37
O.G. Silent was your ac cooling good before your compressor stopped working? Also did you clutch just go out or did the compressor seize
fix it ish it would only blow cool when driving but as soon as I would slow down or come to a stop, it would blow warm. I went ahead and had everything changed out which was the ac compressor, dryer, and expansion valve. It’s blowing nice and cold now. The ac test thermometer was a little bit over 40
O.G. Silent awesome that’s good to hear. It’s getting really hot out we all need the ac working good. I’m glad that worked out for you
Hi man, I have 350Z 2008 which has the same engine Same Compressor. I want to repalce the AC compressor but do you have any idea how much Pag Oil I need to add to it? I'd really appreciate your help. Last year my new Compressor blew up mostly due to wrong amount of Oil that was added to it. If you have any idea or can help I will be grateful.
The new compressor typically comes with a small amount of oil, but you should add the total system oil capacity minus what you drained from the old compressor. For the 2008 Nissan 350Z, the total system capacity is approximately 6.75 to 7 ounces (200 ml) of PAG 46 oil.
@@rexxor4219 Thanks for replaying. I checked some online sources it say Oil type is Pag 100. Are you sure its Pag 46 ?
@@travelheaven6593 Oh my bad, you are correct. Also, I have a method for Infiniti's/Nissans where you can instantly force the compressor on if you need that.
@@rexxor4219 Sorry but Not sure about that. I ordered a brand new compressor and just need to know the correct amount of Oil which it requires adding. Its okay I will try look more and hopefully find it. Thanks for replying
@@travelheaven6593 If the manual specifies a certain amount, follow that. Generally, for a new compressor, add about 2 ounces directly to it.
Do you gotta change the condenser too when changing the AC compressor?
Not in this situation, the compressor clutch went out so nothing went wrong internally so I didn’t change it and it was fine. Normally I’d be changing the whole ac kit and flushing the system when it gets messed up internally
What issue did you have at the ac compressor connector? i changed my compressor and the clutch is not engaging. i need to get it back in my garage to troubleshoot. i had a local shop charge it so it should be full. thank you
One of the wires was pulled out of the connector on the compressor side. Pushed it back in and it was good to go
fix it ish very cool! Thanks. When I can get back in there after the holidays that will be the first thing I will check! Thanks for the video!
@@thetoolman5380 not a problem. If you have any questions on diagnosing it don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help.
I have a 2008 would the compressor cost around the same? Also about how much would it cost to have it done?
fix it ish hey I checked the wires at my compressor. They look good. Is there a way to jump the low pressure switch to engage the compressor? Or put 12v direct to the compressor just to get it started to finish the charger. Hope the new compressor isn’t bad. It may be just a little too low charge to engage it.
I have a G35 sport sedan 2007, a few years ago I had a new AC compressor installed . Now my car is only blowing air when using the AC but the heater function does work. I checked the Freon level, it seems good. Does it mean my compressor is bad again OR could it be my Low pressure valve switch that needs to be replaced??
Update, I replaced my low pressure switch and still no cold air. Any professional advice would help
ACEMAN JOHNSON ac compressor again fallow me at CalifornialifeTV for g35 updates
@@acemanjohnson1011 I have the same issue with my 2007 G35x. My charge level is adequate & I was ready to take the chance to replace the pressure switch as you did until I just saw your post. Did you resolve your situation? Thanks in advance.
@@bomatdaman Unfortunately, it was the compressor I had to replace again for the 2nd time.
@@acemanjohnson1011 Thanks for the feedback. I was afraid of that and it couldn't come at a worse time for me. It's too bad the unit is in such a tight spot to replace.
What about 2007 M35?
I believe this should be the same as long as it has the vq35hr
Should the AC condenser be changed as well as the compressor
STREET SURVIVOR no the ac condenser doesn’t have to be changed
@@fixitish how about the receiver dryier?
STREET SURVIVOR yeah that you should change but also not 100% necessary to make the ac system work as long as you pull a vacuum on the system before charging
@@fixitish Thanks for your quick response
STREET SURVIVOR no problem
My compressor will work and not work I can tell if I hear the compressor click or not any suggestions? Should I just change the compressor
When this happens it’s either under charged or overcharged.
Hey I have the same car, but my compressor is not working and I tried to check my low pressure and it’s all empty I tried to fill it but it won’t fill its always empty and when I turn the a/c on I don’t hear the compressor turning on,
Some dude also said it could be my condenser
OutFooled I doubt it would be your condenser unless it restricted like completely clogged or have a pinched shut line. When you try and charge the system what are the pressures your seeing?
fix it ish they would go up to like 20 and back to zero
OutFooled you made sure you don’t have any leaks?
Wer u located a d how much do u charge for ac replacement
my Infinity Phoenix Az, you can email me for info on repairs ish8586@gmail.com
He didn't put the airbox back on to test the connector voltage...guaranteeed
Druggist 😂 facts?
My ac went out last month I heard it could also be the low pressure switch fallow me on my channel at CalifornialifeTV
I have a 2007 g35. My ac will randomly work. I'll start up the car and it'll be on for 2 seconds and cut out. But it'll eventually come back while I'm driving.
CptStankFanger gona be your a/c clutch buddy i hear it’s better to just get the whole compressor for not to much more👍🏽
