Anyone happen to know what may be needed to make the rooftop AC work on a 1970s model airstream argosy? I put the Google to it and didn't find much. Replaced the lil solenoid things up top and the fan won't come on, the only thing it does it when you turn the knobs inside it makes a little hisssss sound. Guy we bought it from said it worked for him but quit and he didn't mess with it. Nothing else seems to be wrong, really in pretty great condition other than the AC. Thank y'all for any advice, other than "get a window unit", lol.

it could be a relay or resistor for the fan that has burned/shorted out. can you tell if the compressor kicks on when you turn the a/c system on? what about by-passing the entire system and making sure the fan does actually run by disconnecting the fan leads from the system and depending which voltage it is, connecting the appropriate voltage to it and ensuring the fan works. if it doesn't run, the try another fan of similar current/voltage draw and connect it to the system and see if it runs accordingly. if it still doesn't run, the back track you wiring within the system and see where the leads run to, leading away from the fan. there may be a relay or something similar that won't energize if the compressor doesn't kick on. if the compressor kicks on, but fan doesn't work, its a problem between the compressor relay capacitor/relay and the fan relay

Let's start at the beginning... The fan is not operating so check the voltage at the fan to ensure you have proper voltage. If you have proper voltage at the fan like you should then replace the fan. Once the fan is operating properly then you start checking for proper compressor operation.
