Thread: AC trouble

you can buy the cans that come with the gauge to refill it

I have seen them in stores. Is there any issues with the vacuum being diminished? Also, as stated in my 1st message, I would think jumping the switch would be the easiest, but the switch has 3 wires on it. Do you know which to jumper? I don't have the factory manual and I can't find the diagram to show which pin is which.

Well, I did the charge myself, for good or bad. I got a recharge can with the gauge, connected it and pumped the button a few times, then the compressor clicked on. After emptying the can in the system, it only got up to about 35psi. It is a little cooler here in MI today, so maybe that is all it will get. It did feel like cooler air was coming out. We'll see when we get another hot day.

For those that have used the cans of refridgerant, does this sound normal? Should I get a 2nd can? Did I just completely screw up my system?

Thanks,
Scott
