  • No cold air from the AC. Gauge read ok on pressure, but I ignored it. Went ahead charged the AC system. (Generally, follow manufacturer's instructions - so don't do what I did - unless you want to)

    Bruh....it sounds like a hurricane cause you have your vents throwing air out lol it doesn't have to be fast air, if your mic is receiving airflow it's going to pick it up.
    Thanks for the video though. Did help me out.

      I could hear the AC relay trying to click on. The thermometer at the air vent showed that the AC was trying but not pushing the temperature low enough.
      I had AC problems with my van. I was pretty sure it wasn’t low Freon but tried charging it anyways. The AC system did not take any Freon, so the AC compressor was shot.
