The AC on The Beast decided to start fading on the way back from Ocala today.
Typical symptoms of low freon in a WM car is the AC runs colder at the vent than it should and the compressor shuts off momentarily, but with increasing frequency, until it stops working altogether.
Since I've been smelling the PAG, that means the leak is prolly at the evaporator.
If a $30 can of sealant will cure it for a year, I can face pulling the entire dash and replacing the evaporator!
It's not an expensive part, it's just hard to access thanks to making cars Union Assembly Easy.
The AC on Harvey's Equinox has been spotty for a while and it's been strange.
When it finally decides to work, it works great, but we can't count on it working.
Tonight I finally remembered to check the relay. If you jumper it, the compressor kicks on and works.
Tapping the relay a few times got it working again!
New relays are on order.
