4. What does an AC Compressor do?
• The first thing you should know is exactly what an air
conditioning compressor does inside your vehicle. The
purpose of an AC compressor is to cool the air that is
moving through the cabin of your vehicle. The AC
compressor is the central component of your vehicle's
AC system and if your AC compressor is failing, you will
not get cool air. The compressor begins the cooling
process by pumping a mixture of specialized oil and
Freon through the system. For more information on
the full function of the AC system please visit this

• Some older vehicles did not come with air conditioning units out of the
factory. If this is the case for you, get with an automotive air
conditioning technician to speak with them about integrating an AC
system into your car. To help lower the cost of this project have them
give you the specific OEM part numbers of the parts you will need and
look to buy them online with us. The parts we have catalogued for a
specific year, make and model are for the direct replacement of the
exact compressor that was already in your vehicle. If there were any
modifications made to the vehicle's AC system you will have to buy
referencing OEM part numbers.
