I will dig in myself when I leave work, but I thought some of you might know right off the top of your head.

The dealer just did this recall:

Safety Recall 04S15: Loose Grounding Stud at Engine Block.
Some trucks built between 12-1-02 and 3-31-03 may have a loose grounding stud at the lower right front corner of the engine block. The grounding stud should be replaced and any dirt cleaned from the block and/or battery cable end. If the stud is found to be loose, the radio noise suppression strap at the right rear of the engine and any components adjacent to it should be inspected for damage and replaced or repaired as necessary.
Grounding Stud: W704983-S309A
Radio Suppression Strap: F81Z-19A095-AA.


On the way to the dealer yesterday the AC was working fine.
Now after picking it up it doesn't work.
The only way I can see it being related is if it's grounded to that stud and they didn't hook the ground back up, or if the AC harness is near where they were at.

I don't want to be the nut job that tells them they messed up my AC while doing tires, an alignment, and a recall. But, it worked on the way there. So, I'm going to dig into it myself and if I find messed up wiring where they were working I will take it back then.

I just thought there might be a good chance someone on here could be like "oh yeah, check X wire at X location" or something. If not, I will just dive in.

BTW - What I mean by AC not worming is compressor clutch not kicking in. The blower and blend doors still work like normal.

 

Ugghhh...

OK, scratch that.
I decided to go ahead and pop the hood and see if I could identify a problem without getting my office clothes all nasty. Yup... they left it unplugged

At least I don't have to drive back to the dealership...





Seriously?!

 

Glad the fix was that quick n easy

This makes me think of a sign I saw in a shop once that said,

WE OFFER THREE TYPES OF WORK
CHEAP, QUICK, AND GOOD.
PICK ANY TWO, BUT KEEP IN MIND

A QUICK, GOOD JOB WONT BE CHEAP
A CHEAP GOOD JOB WONT BE QUICK
A CHEAP, QUICK JOB WONT BE GOOD

Stuff happens I guess but it sounds like they struck out on all three.

 

I'm trying to figure out why they would pull that connector for the block ground or an alignment.

 

Good point

 

I was wondering the same thing.
I'm not clear on the exact location of the effected ground stud.
Surprisingly, of all the places I called that actually had an alignment rack long enough for the truck the were the cheapest. as far as alignment and installing camber cams.
But, they certainly weren't quick!
