A/C in 2002 Chevy Prism not getting cold

Asked by steelr911 Sep 04, 2014 at 02:53 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Prizm LSi FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have replace every part of the A/C system including compressor, tube ( what ever it is called) the dryer, the evaporator and the part that goes behind the radiator but I still can not get cold air.  Was cold today for about 10 minutes and now running hot again.  Clutch is running and so are the fans.    What would you suggestion I try next other then put the car over a cliff.  ( Replaced the compressor 5 times now along with that stupid tube until I got one that ran   all new compressor.  Dryer had holes in it - the new one  had to replace twice. )

I had the compressor changed last night and I have not had it tested again but it was low 80 and High 140.

I do not know That orface tube has been a throne in our side from day one. Maybe that is the problem. I have asked everyone from the Parts guy at a Chevy dealership to the parts guy where I purchased it and still have not gotten a straight answer.

Try asking at a Toyota Dealer, they may know...your Prizm is a Corolla with a Chevy Badge

Mine was the Ac control module behind the glove box. I tried everything else and kept looking at the wiring diagrams, the book called it an ac amplifier. It is part number 15- 21529
