A/C problem
I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee. Now that it's the summer I want to use my ai
conditioning. However, when I turn on the A/C, no cold air is put ou
and the compressor clutch cycles on and off, as if it were in defros
mode. I am sure it is set on max a/c with the fan on high, and stil
the clutch cycles on and off. I also checked the pressure of the Freo
and that is where it's supposed to be. I was thinking it might be
relay of somesort that controls the clutch, maybe it is stuck it th
defrost position? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: A/C problem
Your low pressure switch is disconnecting the clutch because you
have less than twenty pounds in the suction side while pumping, it
should be between 34 and 38.

Re: A/C problem
The problem is insufficient freon in the system. Fixing it is a two step
process. (1) Find the leak. (2) Evacuate the system and fill it with the
exact amount of refrigerant required.
If you were a redneck shade-tree mechanic, you might get one of those
twelve-ounce cans of freon, that comes with its own recharge hose, and fill
the system until you thought it was working properly. This might work, but
for long-term satisfaction you have to find and fix that leak.

Re: A/C problem
it's against the law to knowly charge a leaking a/c system and leave the charge
in if the leak is not repaired
don't try to use a can with sealer it react to o2 to seal the leak so any o2 in
the system and it's sealed off but good requiring coils and hose replacement
