FOR THE BIGGEST AND BEST PARTS CATALOG, CHECK OUT DORMAN PRODUCTS AT: www.dormanproducts.com/pages/... Hey what’s going on super people all over the world!!! I hope you all are well. So today we have a brand new problem which to my understanding and from the explanation that I got here in the shop from the other guys that work here this is an extremely common problem with these vehicles.
This vehicle that we’re working on in the video is actually a GMC Acadia but because underneath the hood The Chevy Traverse Saturn Outlook and Buick enclave with the 3.6 V6 VVT are virtually identical when they’re equipped with rear air conditioning this video will be extremely helpful to . (even you folks that don’t really have a lot of mechanical know how) this procedure is quite simply something that you can go out to your driveway pop your hood and look underneath the plastic cover and move over the line that covers the affected area..... And Wala you will either see it Rubbed through or you will not. If you do see it with a whole rubbed in the side of line. This video will show you how I fixed mine and give you a couple of ideas how you can fix yours!!! I hope you enjoy it.
You should watch the whole video .(sometimes I’m fun) So you can inform yourself with all the great information that I put in my videos and God bless. I hope the videos helpful for you!
And Thank you for viewing!

Why would you not just use a compression fitting union to rejoin the line after cutting the section with the small hole in it?

@jessicahowell7369 4 ай бұрын

So if this is the rear ac would that be a reason my front ac is not working sorry if this is a stupid question I have no idea when it comes to working on cars. My front ac is not blowing cold or the rear ac but I checked the hose that your showing it it looks like the one your showing if not worst.

@lucydeshazo3779 Жыл бұрын

If you block off the rear ac hose do the back seats of the car still get cooled air through the vents ‘powered’ by the front ac evaporator?

@sharpcarco Жыл бұрын

No…. It will run air through it like there was no air-conditioning the heater will still work

@geeess958 2 жыл бұрын

great stuff. I have a question. is it possible to put a compression fitting (similar to ones used for broken brake lines) where the hole is in order to restore use of the rear ac without taking out the whole line? if so, have you tried it?

@sharpcarco 2 жыл бұрын

Yes It will work and yes I have done it . If it’s a normal problem for them meaning that make and model has that problem most of the time you’ll find that you can’t do it because of where it happens at but if you had a straight part you most certainly can do it….

@sharpcarco 2 жыл бұрын

By the way do not ever use compression fittings and brake lines…. I made a video about that couple of years ago when I was fixing a fuel line fixed and I said “hey you can do this to for your broken brake line” and then another KZfaqrs reached out to me and he made a very valid point brakes are constantly changing pressure and because of that constant change in the pressure it will eventually break the line and you could hurt somebody really badly ijs

@sharpcarco 2 жыл бұрын

That’s more than likely the problem there are three actuators They control the door mechanisms. They open and close the vents switch it from the top to the bottom and control the temperature. In some models there may be more than three just depends on if you have dual climate control. Anyways more than likely that’s the problem and it’s good to know that he knows they’re not often fun to get to you but they are replaceable in the driveway in about 30 minutes to an hour depending on location

I double this question. Obviously there’s no replies here, but have you gotten a solid answer on this and/or actually corrected the problem with your vehicle? This is one of the MANY problems I have with our ‘17 Traverse. Thanks 👍🏼

@sharpcarco Жыл бұрын

This is the reason that I tell people to message me on clays ac and Auto Repair on face book because I never seen this message. I try to answer every message that I see. That’s a simple one the blend door actuator motor is bad so it’s staying stuck on heat . Also, the way he phrased the first question doesn’t really make sense but I think I know what he’s saying. So it’s difficult to decipher what some people are talking about.

How did it come out. I have a 2019 brand new with 8 miles. The ac stopped working like two months later. Took it to the dealer and they said oh it came from the factory with low refrigerant. Fast word to 2022 in august. Ac didn’t blow cold. Right out side the factory warranty. Well evap went bad. Changed it. All is working after 1800 dollars later. Guess what few months later same thing again. Dealer said evap went bad. At least this time it was under warranty. Well today ac isn’t blowing cold. Dealer is closed now but oh they will get a call.
