Tried Midas. Seeking a 2nd opinion.

Also think I read a recharge can kit with the hose and gauge was used? Those are a huge no-no. Air and moisture in that hose.

And pictured unit contains leak stop junk.

Will do!
I'll get those temps measured on every inlet and outlet on every device on the system.
That's a great start!
Thank you

WOW!!!!!!!
I just turned on the car and put the AC on full blast and the condenser fan did not run at all. Wiggled the wiring harness a bit and got it to turn on. Zip tied it and it looks like that did the trick and the fan ran the entire time. When I went to check the AC temperature from the vent, it clocked at 30-40 degrees. I thought this was too good to be true so I let the car warm up and I drove it around town and the AC was ice cold.

I'm shocked Midas didn't notice that the fan didn't turn on.

Thank you so much TBirdBird and DetroitAC for pointing me in the right direction.

Good job! Now give it a permanent fix

[David]

Thanks! How do I give it a permanent fix?

[tbirdtbird]

If you wiggled the wire and it began working, then there is a loose connection or wire almost worn through somewhere....trace it out.

LOcate the exact spot where wiggling the wire makes it stop and go....that is your bad spot. The zip tie fix won't last long

[David]

Oh, I see. Thank you much.

If it weren't for this forum, I would still be scratching my head and probably spend a tun more on repairs (new compressor) that I don't need.

Still not sure why the system pressure is so high, but at least I'm getting cold air.
