Hey y'all.
I've been trying to dig around here to see if someone has a similar issue to my AC and I seem to reach the dead end of my knowledge.
I have a 1997 V6 in which I replaced the Compressor, Condenser, Accumulator, Evaporator, Charge Ports and both the High and Low Pressure Switches. I vacuumed the system as well and checked for leaks. Everything good so far...
Now here's where I'm wondering what went wrong/what is going wrong:
When I add the first can, the AC compressor kicks on and off (Cooling fan stays on)
When I add the second can, the on and off is alot less frequent
When I add about 1/4th of the third can, the compressor shuts off completely (but the cooling fan stays on)
I mess with the AC switch inside the car (going from VENT to NORM A/C) and the compressor kicks on for about three seconds with a heavy draw but shuts off and the cooling fan stays on all the time. Moving the switch repeatedly, I noticed that it gets pretty cold inside and there's condensation along the hoses. I noticed on my AC gauge that it goes from the Red area to Yellow to Green each time the compressor is on but once its off it steadily runs back to the red.
I checked all fuses...good. The connectors to the Switches and Coil...good. With the car on Key On Engine Off, I can hear the CCRM click and the AC Clutch kick on.
And I bypassed the Low Pressure Switch and I still get the same result!
Has anyone had an issue as this? I seriously have no clue on what to do. Any help would be appreciated!
