Good question. It may be the clutch engages on power. In other words, drives the compressor full time unless energized? Seems illogical, but I’m not so good with a/c systems. My mistake was not...

Did that one time with a Suburban I sold maybe a year later. Worked for that time, at least. Rebuilt GM rotary compressor. Those were awful. Failed all the time. I later found out those rebuilds can...

I think the shop has found new parts. They were worried about cost. And its pretty pricey, but not as high as they had feared. Their estimate for repair was somewhere between $3k and $7k.

Oh, man. That sucks. Sorry you had to deal with it. Agree with others here. Never saw a pin shear. Most likely the spring clip worked its way out, or was removed.

Dash A/C System Go Boom

Expensive lesson, partly my own fault. 2006 Jayco Seneca 34SS Duramax LLY Allison 1000 on Chevy C5500 Kodiak chassis.

Driving west on I-10 almost to Ca/Az border, and the dash AC failed in 107...

So, here's the latest. As I turn off the circuit breakers in my AC breaker box, the voltage apparent at ground begins to drop. The more breakers I turn off, the lower the voltage goes.

That cord has been driven over a few times. It's entirely possible. My neighbor thinks it's a corroded chassis ground on the incoming AC power leads, but a different ground on the genset.

34v AC at Chassis Ground

OK, here's one for the real experienced guys here.

2006 34SS Seneca.
Plugged in to 120ac shore power, 15 amps from the garage. So, only one side of the 50 amp circuit is active, or the 15 amps...
