93regalcustom Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have a 1993 Regal 3800 Series 1. I had issues with the air conditioning. I had it evacuated and changed the drier and it worked for a few months. Then it starting working sporadically. If I turned the car off and turned it back on, it the a/c would come back on. This worked until early September when it stopped completely. No compressor action. Thursday night, I went to get a pizza and the check gauges light came on. I noticed yesterday that the voltage was dropping. The alternator had failed. I took the belt off; it was in horrible shape. I went and got a Remy alternator and a Gates ribbed belt and put it back together. The voltage was back to normal and the air conditioner began working again. My question is this: do you guys think it was the cracked, ancient NAPA belt or the failing alternator that made the compressor stop working?
