My ac is not working an this is not the time of the for it not to be. I am not sure what the problem is but it is acting like an electrical issue. The flip side to this bad news is that my wife will not drive a car the windows down. So she is forced to drive the yukon. Has anybody had issues the ac?

Seeing how you have a 2010, it may or may not still be under warranty.

If it is under warranty get Chevy to fix it right away.

Does your car give any error messages in the DIC when you turn the AC on?
Is your engine over heating?
Is the AC Compressor working?
Does the AC not work at all, or does it kick on after you've been driving around for a minute?

I'd start looking at those things if you plan to figure it out yourself, other wise take her to the dealership.

Nope all is good no messages no high temps. Compressor is not on it is charged with freon. I suspect that it is something electrical. I will check it in a couple of days.

Just to cover the obvious, can we assume that the little "snowflake" button light is illuminated indicating that the compressor is selected, or do you press the button and nothing happens?

Trust me in south texas the snow flake light would never go off. It is already 82 degrees @7:30 this morning.

I had several issues with the A/C Belt coming off until I switched to the cheap Duralast Belt from Autozone. I haven't had an issue since. Check to make sure that your A/C Belt is still on.

midnightz/28 · 06-19-2012, 10:04 AM

Yep it is on, when i checked to see if had freon i also looked at the belt, plug at the compressor, searched for obvious signs of damage. Everything is in order.

Please check post #3 in this thread. Mine was repaired 3 times before they got it right last year. It was the compressor.........

Not sure what a compressor stroker crank is but take it to another dealer if possible and see what they say. Dealers are different in reguards to whats covered and not covered under warrantry. Would'nt hurt to try.

I can understand the inconvenience this issue may be causing you and your wife. If you want, please send me your VIN via PM and I will be able to check to see if there are any open recalls, programs, and any applicable warranties related to this issue.

I look forward to your response.

I was kidding about a stroker crank for my ac. That was meant to be sarcastic. But bc i modded the engine they said warranty is voided. I do not understand why bc i did not really fool with the ac other than take it off the bracket and did not discharge the system. I dont mind fixing the problem my self i could diagnose it but i just wanted to find out if there are some obvious problems.
