Love hearing and seeing women handle mechanical issues. 3

Why when I searched the web this entire summer in 118° in blazing hot Arizona did every single mechanic shop always give sound advise on how to "fix" it yourself but not a single one ever gave this advise? The all wanted $250 for the inspection, $280 for new switches, $450 for a new compressor, $250 for new lines, $195 for new harness and $95 for labor. This seems much more up my ally. Thank you for the video. Saved me money and many me days of heat stroke

Just went through this, I went to the AC compressor clutch relay and jumpered the socket... once the low side got up in pressure, I put the relay back in and life is good. The AC clutch will normally cycle to keep high side pressure from getting too high, and to keep the evaporator from icing up.

We couldn't understand why the 2001, S10, compressor would not cut on. Good ole KZread will make you smart! (Low pressure sensor) Then I got enough Freon in, that it was starting and stopping, like in your video. It still wouldn't accept any freon. With the paper clip in place, it took Freon until it wouldn't take any more. A little over a can. Temp at the vent with a temp laser. 36 degree. Oh yea!!!
