VN Series1 ute A/C sudden stop.

[bugadifino]

G'day again.

In my ute the A/C must have a short somewhere as the fuse finally burnt out after melting half the holder. It had the suggested amperage fuse too 25amp.

I removed & repaired as good as possible on side of road. All went well, then a week or so later it stopped working. ... Drove in driveway, A/C ok. Drove out driveway A/C inop. Whathe????

Any ideas? Is this a common thing in Vn's?

It could need to be re-gased. But I don't know what the 'symtoms' are of one that needs to be done.

Check the black wire that connects to the aircon compressor to see if it has shorted on something.
