Hi all. New member here
We recently picked up a 2012 Liberty Exiga for the wife to drive. Having an issue with the AC and I'm trying to find a workshop manual for it. Being a fairly uncommon car, finding manual for the Exiga is a little harder.
What I'm wondering is if anyone knows if the Exiga is built on another platform and just has different body on it, if that makes sense? I can find manuals for the Liberty/Legacy etc and was hoping the Exiga might be running basically the same running gear, wiring etc as those.
While I'm here I may as well outline what is happening in case its a known issue.
The AC works fine, when it works. But it intermittently will stop working, and you get no cold air coming out. This seems to happen on stinking hot days, or after some heat soak with vehicle sitting after running for a bit. Early days yet, but that is what I've noticed.
It happened yesterday, and I the compressor clutch wasn't engaging when it didn't run. Left it with bonnet open for a while when it cooled off a bit, tried again and got cold air and the compressor clutch kicked in fine.
This is leading me to think its possibly a sensor or wiring issue affected by temperature. Or a temp issue affecting the clutch in the compressor itself.
The stereo head unit has also gone completely blank. Know if there would be any issues just swapping another double din head unit straight into it?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer
