    9 times out of 10 times it's low refrigerate. When you check the pressure on your ac compressor and its short cycling make sure you check when your compressor is on! When it shuts off it'll go into the red and when it kicks back on is when you need to check the pressure

      My cars compressor doesn’t stay on long enough for me to check pressure, it shows red when I connect it and the compressor clicks on for 2 seconds max and stops does it repetitively. But I do notice gauge start to climb back but I can’t tell cause it doesint stay on long enough

      @sebastiansavage0819 if it's cutting out after 2 seconds it's either got too much r134a or not enough. One of the two

      The video was good, but actually this comment was the one who helped me solve my problem, my ac was reading up to the red zone and dropping down, and I didn't know if it was overcharged or needed gas, after reading this I checked again and when the ac kicked in that's when the pressure was dropping. Thanks dude. I put gas and My AC now is good thanks to you!

      @@joshuabarr6511 So how do I fix this? Same is happening to mine. If I start adding Freon, in theory, it should stop short cycling every second or 2 when I hit the pressure threshold the PCM is looking for? I have to assume the Freon is low, not high. It worked fine the last few years and no Freon has been added in the last 6 years for sure

    My 2005 Tahoe AC has worked flawlessly in the three years I have had it. I had a reputable oil service change done a week ago and they said the AC system needs work. I said my AC is ice cold. I used the AC three times since then and had cold AC. Now, the compressor clicks on and off. Do you think they did something to make it fail, to make work?

    Got a car that sat up for years. Went to add refrigerant and compressor would cut on for a few seconds and back off. The gauge would read over full and slowly drop until the compressor cut off and would rise again. If I let pressure out of the low end, the compressor wouldn't move at all.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    • @erikaparicio3888
      @erikaparicio3888 9 дней назад

      At first your system was low but enough to keep the compressor engaged intermittently. Now that you remove the little refrigerant it had, the compressor won't engage at all.
      You simply need to refill it at the right amount. You can find that information online on under your car's hood, in the AC specifications section.
      Do not overfill the system, this will cause issues similar to not having enough refrigerant.
