**speedemn** · 06-14-2004, 06:41 PM

The AC in the same 98 Neon just died when the weather started to get warm. I listened to it and the compressor does not even turn on. She had it in at some place for an oil change this morning and they told her that the compressor is shot too (not that hard to figure out I guess, if you do not hear it come on).

I did a search and read a lot of threads on neons.org on checking vacuum lines, etc... but should I bother with any of that if the compressor does not even turn on? Should I just pick up a used compressor from a wrecker and swap it?

Thanks for any advice.
