I swithc it to heat and its like scorching heat .. not that i ever need that in Socal.. but anyway im trying to sel the car would another recharge work or is it the compressor.. any suggestions thanks alot
Does the compressor come on? If not check the fuses. If there fine it could be a presure switch craped. also make sure your switches on the dash work.

what do u mean.. does the compressor come on how do i know??.. what pressure sqitch do u mean could u elaborate somemore thanx..
Well when you turn on the AC do you hear it kick on under the hood? usually a low grumbling sound.
ill go check it out..damn i hope its not the damn compressor i heard there expensive
yea.. i turn th ac and i hear a rumblin sound im pretty sure compressor is running i popped the hood n listened too pretty sure its on.. its pretty damn hot air absolutly no cold.. wut else should it try?
Ok brandon. Start your car, pop the hood, Have someone turn the ac on you should hear a click followed by a wirring/ humming type sound that wasn't there before. This would be the compressor turning on. If not the switch on the dash could be bad check it with a test light. If its working there are two presure switches located on your ac system. One is a low presure switch and one is a high presure switch. The
location of both can be in different spots depending on your car but one is usualy on one of the hard metal lines and the other is usualy on the back of the compressor. These two switches tell your computer how much presure is in the system if it gets too high you could blow a hose so it shuts itself off. If it drops too low the compressor could starve for oil and lock up so it shuts off. The compressor comeing on you can check very eaisly just by doing what I said above. Since your car is pretty modded out I see you have some automotive knowledge. If you feel its something you can do check the switch in your dash. But unfortunatly I'm sorry I do not know any easy way to check the presure switches for those you'll need a shop or a friend with gauges who can check presure readings and make sure they are within spec. I know its alot but I
can't help that.
goodluck and let meknow if you need anymore help at all. I'll try as best as I can over the internet to help you out.

Sorry man i was typeing while youwere already doing it . Since its coming on I think you'll need a shops help. You may have a leak sorry man.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
honestly i dont care as logn as its nothing too big if its a leak no big deal ill just refill it and sell it.. and yes i do here the compressor turning on does that mean its a leak?
Sorry dude I had to sleep. If the comp is coming on then have someone check thepresure in your system. It could just below from a leak, now before you start figuring on how much to sell it for leaks are usually were there is a joint meaning the line conects to another part. In these joints are "O" rings and they will go bad with time/
I'd say have a UV DYE TEST done that will pin point the leak that way you can fix it.
Good luck Let meknow if you need anything else.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
