Cant get system to charge
I'm having a problem with my 89 Bronco. It has been previously converted from r12. I'm trying to charge the system. The compressor cycles every 5 seconds but it wont take in any refrigerant. When I try to jump the connector I blow a fuse. I let it run for about a 1/2 hour with the bottle connected to the low pressure side thinking it may take in enough during the time the compressor was cycling. No such luck. Any advise?

No, it doesn't really suck the refirgerant in. The refrigerant in the can is at a higher pressure than the low side of the system. Are you trying to top-off the system? What symptoms are you experiencing?
