> When the refrigerant is low, the AC compressor is disabled. This is why the light doesn’t turn on. You can hard wire it to check if it still spins up, but don’t do it for long as the refrigerant is also the lubricant for the compressor. Fuck paying $$$ for R12, just try that RedTek kit at Canadian Tire. Make sure you get the oil can too, and fix all the leaks prior to fully charging the system.

The redtek is on sale at partsource for 49.99 right now, good luck with the fix, windows down ftw!
