03 Explorer, No AC, short cycle
The gauge on the refill can of r134 says pressure is good but no AC. Compressor is short cycling and it is blowing no cold air. Any easy things to check before I go to dealer.
I had a blend door repair done over the winter, they tore apart the dash and console, I dont know what else was involved it was a warranty job. Warranty is now expired. Any chance they may have forgot to reconnect something or otherwise goofed up the system?

Gauges on the cans are usually useless unless you know how to read them (the compressor HAS to be engaged in order for the color bands to be relevant.
Short-cycling is almost always due to a low charge. Low charges are due to leaks. A leak means it must be found and repaired. That means the system then has to be evacuated properly and recharged.
It won't be cheap.
