[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16644387, member: 113850"] As mentioned above, your first new tool is a set of AC gauges and manifold. You are just guessing and shotgunning parts without those. If pressure to each side of the compressor looks good, it could be a switch not allowing the compressor to start. If the compressor is dead, it is a good idea to just replace it, along with the dryer/catch can/accumulator and the orifice tube. If you see anything like black stuff in the lines, it means the compressor crapped out and put metal into the lines. The condenser needs to go too, because it has become a filter for those metal shards from the compressor. IMO it is honestly better to just replace everything and be done with it. The only thing you do want to keep is the evaporator. To get to that..the dash has to come out and the HVAC housing needs to be taken apart. Be very careful removing the hoses to the evap.
