Part Description
This Grade A A/C air compressor was removed from a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am 3.4L with only 57,000 miles. The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship. This genuine OEM part offers reliable performance and proper fit for your vehicle’s air conditioning system.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing and circulating refrigerant to provide cool air. Common reasons for replacement include internal bearing failure, clutch problems, refrigerant leaks, or electrical issues with the compressor clutch. When your A/C stops blowing cold air or makes grinding noises, the compressor is often the culprit.
