Air Conditioning Problem 700

posted by  someone claiming to be JimL on  Tue Jul 27 04:55 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Put gauges on it and see if there is any freon pressure - not likely. Freon could have leaked from a variety of places - hose, fitting, compressor seal, evaporator, condenser. Maybe you got a rock in the condenser - it happened to me on my Dodge Minivan.

If there is no freon pressure, you can apply positive air pressure to the system and listen/look/soap bubble test for leaks. They're usually easy to find.

Good news is that if you had a freon loss because of something other than a compressor seal failure, your comp should still be good. Make sure you check the oil level in the compressor, because you can lose oil if the system blows down through a leak.
