AC Troubleshooting

[GMAN]

My compressor isn't kicking on like it should. The manual doesn't mention a fuse. Is there one that controls the compressor?

Did you try jumping the plug at the pressure switch to see if it was low on freeon?

Ok, I'll check that next. I may have a leak.

Two cans of AC PRO, and she's blowing cold.

I'm curious how well that stuff works, update us when it leaks down again

if you put 2 cans in your were completly empty. Keep an eye out for a leak. AC systems don't normally loose refrigerant.

How new is the compressor?

Get a UV Leak Detection Service Kit.
I just bought this, it works great.

It will also throw a code if the compressor is kicking on and off.
