AC blowing hot, GMC Acadia
Asked by Boomer403 Jul 06, 2018 at 11:15 AM about the 2010 GMC Acadia SLE-1 FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
AC is blowing hot, already tried recharging. When car idles and AC turned on,
RPM's have a slight surge every few seconds. Not sure if problem is
compressor itself or a relay/fuse. Going to try changing the compressor relay,
where is it located?

The surge you are seeing will happen each time the compressor cycles. When it comes on it puts a little strain on the engine and it will reduce the RPM's. Sorry, I do not know where your relay is located. Did you leak test the system to determine you can maintain a full refrigerant charge?
I tried pulling the relay and reinserting, and the AC began working again, now on day 3. So something in the control module must have "rebooted". $0 fix, hoping it sticks. Regarding refrigerant charge, pressure is squarely in the green. Thanks for input!
Which fuse did you pull? I am having the same issues!
I pulled and reinserted the compressor relay (cube shape) and pulled/reinserted the compressor clutch fuse. It somehow reset and started blowing cold again. My first $0.00 repair!
Where can I find the compressor relay? I am googling it now trying to figure it out!
under hood, there is a fuse box with a cover. under the cover there is a map showing the location of all the fuses/relays
I see one that just shows A/C clutch thats the one I want?
Well I just tried pulling both of those and it unfortunately did not fix my issue.... Still no ac
reprogram the ac ecu with last software
Try replacing the serpentine belt. If it is slipping you will have issues with the AC when the compressor kicks on.
