Thread: Ignition switch and Where/how to charge the A/C

hello All,
i own a 2001 Grand Prix with the 3.8 supercharged and Im usually doing most of the maintenance by myself, but I actually have two problems,
The first one is than all the lights of the central consol are working intermitemntly but most of the time never... and the AC is not working at all except in the "blast" position. Someone told me to change the ignition switch, but I wanted to be sure by asking you guys first.
second question, my A/C is not as cold as it was and I noticed than it was colder when the car was climbimg up hill and so, warmer down hill, I so deduct than I needed to put more refrigerant in the system, but can I do that with the R134 kit they are selling in the autoparts store ? if yes how ? if you had pics it will be just great

Many thanks in advance

Seb

Thanks, I know it is not a bulb, the panel with the car info is on and off or just dimer, the radio too.
For the resistor I looked everywhere but I couldn't find the thread or the HowTo, I ll continue to look tomorrow.

Thanks, I checked the post and I will take alook at the car as soon as i can,
