    Hello, my 2011 prostar sleeper ac not working. I had to replace both sensor. And it worked just fine. Then two days ago the sleeper ac went out than the next day the cab went out. Took it to the ta and they replaced the air compressor. The cab works fine but the sleeper isn't working at all. Please, any advice?

    Does it blow hot air? Or does it not blow air at all?

    It's almost November. Let it ride 6 months then worry about your a/c.

    Need more details, like @ShooterK2 mentioned above. Is the blower still running in the bunk?

    If it's blowing hot air in the bunk but it's cold up front, I'd start looking at the control panel where the bunk temp knob is. Or possibly a fuse and/or relay that runs that panel. The fact that it's cold in the cab tells me it's got freon and the compressor is doing its job. I'm thinking it's electrical.
     
    Ayoung Thanks this.

    You need to replace the cab expansion valve, it's probably all clogged up. You said they replaced the AC compressor. Your compressor was probably fine. Have them drain all the R134a out, and replace the cab expansion valve and also replace the receiver drier. Receiver drier is basically a filter for the AC system. Also have them put the system under vacuum for at least an hour, longer the better.
     
    Ayoung Thanks this.
