I personally dont trust your mechanic in the least. I think if you pursue it youre going to find he just fed you the largest amount of bullshit ever. He may have diagnosed it alright, and then hes chosen to juice you for the part condenser. When its actually one of the hoses. He may have done a electrical test on the compressor to already know its ok.

you want to really trust the guy im sure. once he thinks you do though he needs to fit your ignorance around his bills. A god fearing mechanic who felt his mission in life was to work to help people who were ignorant about their cars and never learn about them( and they dont really exist, only through a charity organization)... well hed still have to sell and replace unnecessary parts for you.

If the system is no working youre damn straight that fan doesnt start. LOL. Ive actually never seen the fan in front of my condenser on my protege start. I mean ive had it for about a month only, but never. Used the AC plenty of times its just not that hot.
