Re: [DMCForum] A/C question

["Lauren" <LPLand@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, Marc, I never got as far as feeling the hoses in the wheel well.  
When I ran the car with the door open I could hear the relay for the 
compressor clicking on and off every 20-30 seconds so I just shut it.  
I think I need to track down the reason for that first.  It did that last 
year when I first bought the car but after I had it charged the 
compressor would stay on.  Or else I thought it did -- I seldom use 
the A/C and just tried it yesterday for the first time since September.
I did notice that I get no airflow on "heat" and when the compressor 
kicks off and on my SpecialT fan fix light comes on and goes off (the 
fan fail light).  Something's screwed up to say the least.

No, it's not.  That question came up on the Forum a few months ago 
when I was asking about the  white slime.   I'm still not sure the 
heater core is bad because I can't find any signs of a leak and the 
"slime" really is just a white powder that I haven't noticed lately.  
Maybe I'm just still cleaning the PO's grunge off.

Is that the same as the accumulator - the silver cannister under the 
wheel well?
