Oh my friend, it is hard to explain so I will try. First of all it is an r12 system converted to r134. It is blowing hot air, the clutch does not engage but when you jump it to a 12 volt source it engages. When hooked up to gauges it reads that overcharged but when the clutch engages it read charged just right. Oh, and to make it more confusing when the clutch engages it still blows hot air. The whole system is confusing. I took to my trusted backyard mechanic friend, who has worked on and fixed lots of vehicles. I voltage to the compressor and the continuity is good. I am confused and frustrated. I need to get if fixed by the first weekend in August.
Keep in mind my frustration comes from taking my camry in for a simple drain and fill of the coolant and finding out that the water pump is leaking. Since the camry is a hybrid I didn't want to tackle that repair. Then my a/c quit working in the same car. The mechanic who changed the water pump didn't want to touch the a/c due it being a hybrid and an electric compressor. That turned into a >600 dollar repair week.
