Re: A/c Quit Working, Confused...

OK, I forgot yours was that new. General layout of an a/c system:

Compressor (you know where that is)

1 line out to the receiver (big aluminum round can) and on to the evaporator core (goes into the firewall)

1 line out of the firewall to the condenser (in front of the radiator)

1 line from the condensor back to the compressor

Low pressure (cold) side hoses and lines are generally bigger.

Everyhing from the compressor to the firewall should be cold and sweating with the system on. Everything from the firewall back to the compressor (condensor side, high pressure) will be hot, (very)



If not, something is wrong.
