If you don't have the knowledge and equipment the do it yourself approach will often leave you with a destroyed system. Seen it too many times. Dennis

I went to a shop to service the A/C.. the mechanic asked me to turn on to A/C before doing anything... NOTHING... the clutch was not ON just the fan... he gave me 2 choices.. go home and trouble shoot myself and come back or let the van there and he will do it with a fat bill... so I went home, tried, read the Bentley and tried again.. and ask question around... I unscrew the blue cap on the compressor, stuck in a screw driver and nothing came out of it.. not even a faint hiss...sooooo..and I got the very same feeling as yours... we will try to put some freon in it and try again tomorrow.. thanks for the reply dan |
