81 El camino with updated ( within the last couple years) R134-a system. Stopped working at the end of last summer of 2019.
Just getting around to trying to trouble shoot it and I'm coming across a few problems and not sure where to start in order to trouble shoot.
First thing is the AC system stopped blowing completely. I took the Blower motor out to look at it and see what condition it was in. When I put it back in - it started blowing again.
Second thing is the compressor clutch stopped engaging. And this is where I am now.
What I've done to try to fix it -
1- replaced the blower motor relay
2- replaced the entire compressor and clutch ( added oil after evacuating system)
3- I found a rotten connection - I cut the connection out and hardwired the wires
4- I was having trouble refilling the freon into the lower pressure point so I replaced the adaptor to no avail - The system still will not take any Freon from the can - I'm wondering if this is because the system won't turn on, there is no air flowing anywhere.
Any advice or a next step would be appreciated. Thanks
