    As the owner of a 20+ year old car who likes to do his own repairs, this explination is PRICELESS! The more things I repair successfully, the more confidence I get! This video provided me with information that will no doubt help me when my system needs some tlc.

    Thanks man! this helped me diagnose a bad wire that was intermittently turning off the fan. I noticed the high pressure would increase all the way beyond 300 as I filled in freon, even with 4 oz in the system. I thought it was a clog or something, thought the expansion valve was bad. If I just knew a little foundation to the AC system I would of known instantly the fan wasn't cooling the condenser, duh!. Thank you!

    Excellent video! So glad I watched it. I have an 06 CRV with a new compressor replaced last year. During the summer it was cooling so well it would absolutely freeze me. Oddly enough I noticed on a warm day in December it wasn't cooling. I assumed the coolant had leaked out and got one of those DIY kits from WM to put some coolant back in it. To my surprise, when I hooked up the hose to the low side, I got high pressure in the red range on the gauge. Now, I at least have a clue as to why the low-pressure side is high. I did not have the expansion valve replaced when I had the new compressor installed! What seemed like sorcery and rocket science before now kinda makes sense! I'm going to my guy and have the expansion valve replaced. A/C starting to make sense. This is scary, but fun! 1000 thanks for a great video!!!

    I hope to see a part in this series going into a little more advanced scenarios. Thanks for your hard work.
