AC Help
A couple of weeks ago my AC suddenly stopped working. I hooked up a set of gages and the system had equalized at 80 psi. I tried to add freon, but it would not take any. I tried jumping the compressor switch at the accumulator, but the compressor would not start. I thought I would replace the binary switch at the compressor, but didn't realize I would loose my charge
I replaced the switch and pulled a vacuum on the system. Got it down to 29 inches and tried to recharge the system. I was able to get about 50 psi in the system, but it won't take any more and the compressor will not start. I tried jumping the compressor switch, but it still won't start. Sounds like the clutch coil??
Almost forgot, I replaced the orifice tube before evacuating. It had a little debris, but not bad.
Thanks!
