Quick facts

- Fits: 1996-2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A worn or failing compressor can show up as weak cooling, a noise when the A/C runs, or a clutch that does not engage. Warm vent air alone does not prove the compressor is the problem, since a low refrigerant charge from a leak is another common cause.
