115402, A/C compressor and freon capacity
Posted by RS2G, Jun-10-08 02:48 PM
Hello 2gnt gurus, i have a problem with my a/c compressor, the cutoff/low pressure switch is not activating the a/c compressor to suck up all the freon. when i measure the freon pressure it was empty so i filled up my a/c with 2 bottles of 134a. now, the switch is not engaging unless i do it manually with a bypass wire. whats the freon capacity?. how could you tell if its the low pressure switch.?, i called my local dealer and they never heard of "low pressure switch" thank you in advance.

If i remember right they don't have 'em. They use an expansion valve with a thermostatic switch, both are up under the dash inside the HVAC box. I changed mine a few years ago, kind of a bitch. As far as the charge, http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=Specifications Look down in fluid capacities. Someone when through the work to put it there!
