As the title says, I change my plugs and wires and serviced my transmission on my 03 Suburban and on my test drive I found my AC doesn't work.
I was racking my brain, think what I could have done to create an AC problem. Did I short something when moving a wiring harness out of my way, do I check fuses, did I put too much pressure on the accumulator getting to rear plug and caused a leak, so many questions.
Got home to check it out and the belt was broken. a quick evaluation and the ac tensioner pulley is clearly shot.
Pure coincidence that it went out on my test drive after those other 2 services. I feel bad for you professional mechanics that would have been blamed for this by a general consumer who went in for a tune up and left with no AC.
I am kicking myself for not changing it when I did my idler pulley, water pump and power steering pump. It was all open and right there for the changing, but I did not have the part on hand so I didn't do it.
95 degrees in Florida today...looks like I will be changing this ASAP.
