It beats me. Something told me that today was the day to troubleshoot the non-functioning AC on my 2000 Ford Ranger. It worked when I bought the truck but quit sometime in the late summer.<\/p>\n<p>I thought that I might just need to add freon, so I watched a video about how to do that, and I learned that the first thing I needed to check was if the compressor is coming on.<\/p>\n<p>So I went out in late afternoon and my French-Canadian neighbours from Ontario (first time I mention them) were out. We talked and I mentioned that I was about to pop the hood on my truck to check the AC compressor. The husband sprang into action to help me! OMG, I love RVers!<\/p>\n<p>He knew exactly where the compressor was and how to test it. Bad news: the compressor clutch wasn&#8217;t engaging. He had me pull the fuse and test it to make sure that wasn&#8217;t the problem. Nope. So I know I need to take it to a shop. But I now have enough knowledge not to get taken.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I have to get the brakes done first, so no AC for a while. At least, I know I&#8217;ve gone as far as I can with that repair.<\/p>\n<p>No AC wouldn&#8217;t be so bad if I had automatic windows, but I have the arm exercise model. L has a newer Ranger with power doors and windows! He said he&#8217;d trade me those for <a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/?p=15300\">my rear doors<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>With help like that and my repair manual, I&#8217;m getting well acquainted with Moya&#8217;s engine compartment and am rather enjoying getting my hands dirty tweaking this and that and just exploring everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t ask me how I prioritize projects.
