Your A/C compressor is the heart of your air conditioning system. When your A/C compressor fails, you might notice a lack of cold air from the vents, clicking sounds from under the hood, or total failure of the A/C system. Shop Advance Auto Parts for air conditioning compressors from top brands like ToughOne, Carquest, Driveworks, DENSO, Delphi, ACDelco and Factory Air.
The A/C compressor is responsible for converting gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state, so that it can be evaporated again and provide cooling to your car's interior. Powered by a drive belt from the crankshaft, the compressor is essentially the heart of your A/C system. Without a compressor, the A/C won't work. Signs of failure include poor A/C performance or a clicking noise from under the hood as the compressor clutch cycles the compressor on and off.

If your A/C compressor ever breaks down, chances are it is because of one of these five reasons:
Dirty Coils
Dirt and grime build up on the condenser coils over time. If too much accumulates, the compressor could fail.
Poor Refrigerant Levels
Your compressor needs just the right amount. Too much or too little could cause issues.
Blocked Lines
The compressor can't pump refrigerant if the lines are blocked and that will cause the system to overheat.
Electrical Problems
Electrical issues, such as faulty wiring and shortages, are usually a death sentence for your compressor and require replacement.
Inadequate Lubricant
The moving parts in your compressor need to be well-oiled like anything else in your vehicle.
