Electrical Failure

First on our list of signs to look for to determine the cause of your vehicle’s AC problems is an electrical failure. Electrical issues are perhaps the most difficult problem to diagnose when it comes to an AC unit that has stopped working, due to the complex nature of vehicle wiring. To find electrical issues, you’ll need to conduct a visual inspection of all the wiring to see if any wires are broken or frayed.

Cooling Fan Failure

Next on our list of signs to look for to determine the cause of your vehicle’s AC problems is cooling fan failure. When cooling fans aren’t functioning properly, your condenser may not receive adequate cooling. Your vehicle’s condenser is supposed to re-cool hot refrigerant once it has been compressed by using the airflow that comes through the front of your car as you drive.

For that reason, eventually, a failing cooling fan can cause your car to start emitting only hot air. The best way to check if the cooling fan is broken is through a visual inspection.

Compressor Failure

Last on our list of signs to look for to determine the cause of your vehicle’s AC problems is compressor failure. Your Hyundai compressor keeps your AC moving at all times. Without the compressor, the AC unit’s refrigerant cannot circulate through the system and you’ll never get any cold air.

The most common reason that a vehicle’s compressor fails is when the system goes for long periods of time without use. The lack of use tends to shock the system when it finally is used again such as in the spring or summer after being dormant all winter long.
