1999 T & C A/C Recharging/Low pressure switch location
It’s hot and time to use the A/C. It’s blowing hot air, the
compressor won’t turn on, and I can’t find the low pressure cutout switch to bypass and get the compressor to run and allow me to add a couple of cans of R-134a. Any suggestions would be helpful. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Chrysler-1...ict124171.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

there is a leak in the system if it's low but there is many things on that van that can keep the system from starting
up and if u have to ask then it should be done by someone who knows what they are doing. no disrespect intended just trying to keep someone from blowing up the can of 134 in the face ab2ih wrote: > It’s hot and time to use the A/C.

Report abuse: http://www.autoforumz.com/eform.php?p=604620 Thanks for the reply Tim. The 1993 G. Caravan I just sold was easy to work on because I have the factory service manual, however I have not gotten the FSM for the 1999 T&Country yet, just thought someone out their would be able to say something like ’ find the connector mounted on the drivers wheelwell and short pins 9 + 10". I dread the thought of taking it to the dealer and being presented with a bill for $1000 when I might be able to replace a part myself and recharge it for $200. My profession is not an Automotive tech., but rather an Electronics tech. and grew up working on cars often. Scott. |

open the glove box and look for a round plug in the side of the hvac housing turn and pull the fin sensor out of the way
and look at the evap for oil residue on the bottom if thereis, there is your leak ab2ih wrote: > "tim bur" wrote: > > there is a leak in the system if it's low but there is many > > things on that van that can keep the system from starting > > up and if u have to ask then it should be done by someone who > > knows what they are doing. no disrespect intended > > just trying to keep someone from blowing up the can of 134 in > > the face > > > > ab2ih wrote: > > > > > It’s hot and time to use the A/C.
