Now it has quit all together


RE: Prostar ac - 74bassman - 06-22-2018

Replaced climate controller on the dash. The compressor clutch now will run for a few mins. After a few mins it shuts off, then will spin every so often for a few revolutions then shuts off again.

Sounds like its cycling. It will do this depending on many factors. Ambient temp, cab temp, how much freon is in the system....
Is it blowing cold air? How much different is the vent temp from what the temp is outside?
30 degrees colder is the general rule of thumb. On an 80° day 50° is good. On a 100° day if you get 70° your doin just fine.

Replaced thermomister again. Did the same thing. Change the cab controller, now it seems to work. I can now see the temp in the lower left corner.

109 in arizona... 54 vent temp with an arduinio controller for my prostar a/c. Got tired of the POS factory system always going nuts.


RE: Prostar ac - 74bassman - 06-23-2018

Im looking for the parts to build that.


RE: Prostar ac - 74bassman - 06-24-2018

Putting in a cab controller didnt fix it.


RE: Prostar ac - smorgan87 - 06-25-2018

Bassman, im currently running my compressor off a toggle switch. The psi sensor on the high side continues to cycle the fan (disconnected the thermister plugs so the computer didnt turn off all ac logic) It needs to have a high psi shutoff (safety so the compressor doesnt puke and burn up)and low psi shutoff (defrost and no refrigerant safety) in line to the compressor clutch power but i havent had time to reengineer that part and ac switches to fit the factory threads are few and far between. Rawzes arduino is a much better setup. The arduino board, blank circuit board and relays can be purchased on amazon. The code is floating around this forum somewhere.

I'm looking on amazon now for the parts.
