I don't have a/c in my bunk.
The vent motor works properly, both a/c lines are hot, fan works, cab a/c works.
I'm guessing my bunk expansion valve is plugged.
Truck is a '04 379 if it matters at all.
Nothing but cooling problems today....reefer and bunk![]()
No a/c in the Bunk

Are both a/c lines at the bunk expansion valve hot? If they are the expansion valve would be stuck open.
-
It's the expansion valve. Hot means a restriction.
-
Petes have one filter under the passenger dash for the cab and one under the bunk. They get plugged up and don't cool well.
-
What does the AC switch in the bunk control panel do? It doesn't turn off the fan. I'm wondering if I lost a connection to it. The light is working in the switch. Is there on/off switch for the bunk freon?
-
Just popped the hood and noticed every metal line is covered in ice. It's going to need some work
-
It's low on refrigerant or has a lack of airflow through the evaporator/s. Lack of air flow could be a bad fan motor/s, dirty filter/s or dirty evaporator/s.
123456 Thanks this. -
If all the lines have ice on them I would say it is overcharged with freon.
-
I dunno, maybe the air conditioning system on a 2004 Pete is totally different from the one on a 2010 cascadia.
Besides, the op stated the AC works in the cab, just not the sleeper. Overcharged system would cause no AC in both the sleeper and the cab. -
Is the switch in the cab that says bunk a/c turned on? Sleeper a/c won't work if it isn't.
popmartian Thanks this.
