When i bought my car, it was equiped with A/C. But when i want to turn it on, my car still idles like normal, and the button doesn’t even light up. what could be the problem of this issue…like other ppl, their compressor spins, but i don’t hear, see or feel anything from the a/c, could it just be one of the lines leaked all the shit out? or just an electricle problem? need a/c badly…help. ---

you can do a small test I guess, by slowly unscrewing one of the hoses from the AC unit if you hear free-on escaping then theres no leak, if you hear nothing then … obviously ---

your compressor won’t turn on unless you have some refrigerant in your AC system. The tripple pressure switch (I think that’s what it’s called) won’t be on and your compressor won’t turn because the relay that supplies the voltage to the compressor won’t be energized (well, the contact from the relay really)… That’s the basic idea of our A/C systems in our cars. So the first thing you should do is check for the gas and make sure you have the right amount in there and it’s under the proper pressure. I think you can find that info in the FSM. If that’s all ok, try to turn on the a/c. If it doesn’t work, then you might have an electrical problem somewhere. The FSM will guide you through all that as well. ---

If you have the R12 system (pre 1994) you need to convert it because the gas sold now is R134 (94+). ---

> go to CT or part source and just buy the ac refill and put 2cans in which is 2pounds what the ac system takes i went to part source, and checked out the refill cans, just a question, you said 2 cans = 2 pounds, but the guy said 2 cans = 1lb. but if you put 2 in, then i guess 2 is enough then. gonna do it when i have extra cash. ---

My A/C is working, but it blows warm air, i think its because i put the lube and leak stopper in which was two cans, and filled up the line. So it only took very little of the actual freon, causeing it to be cold for only 2 days. So my question is, can i release all the gas/freon out of the system and put a fresh two cans back in? the ones i got, they said its not as harmful, so i won’t give a shit about the envoirment. or theres special way to do it…? i know i can just put the hose on the high pressure outlet on the front and it will let everything out, but will it cause any problems? ---
