So today, while I was at my body shop getting an estimate, my A/C got brought up. The owner then told me that they have a recharger. After recharging the system, we tested the A/C and it worked as it did before the swap. WOO HOO! Now I can drive my car comfortably through Cali's sweltering heat. Despite the fact that they lag, EL Prototypes does nice, clean work!

wish my a/c worked, the compressor doesn't even kick on when I press the a/c button. But I don't really want to spend $150 to buy a new one.

There is a pressure safety switch that keeps the compressor from coming on and burning up if the freon is too low, you may just need to add a little freon. |

Is it pretty common for the ac not to work after the swap?
and will recharging it work everytime? or what is it that actually keeps the a/c from working. |

if the A/C on a car is anything like the one for your frig.. it will loose compression once it's disconnected... nothing wrong with it .. just has a no compression so you need to add some coolent what ever it uses... and this well cause the unit.. to gain compression again.. well i don't know if that makes sence to anyone cause i'm supersleepy and the world just look like dots to me right now... and yea what i just said is the case it the A/C unit works just like the ones on your frig at home -------------------- |
