Ac Recharging

[HUSKER]

BOUGHT A DO IT YOURSELF FREON KIT. THE LOW PRESSURE SIDE WAS 125 psi, INSTRUCTIONS SAID TO GO NO FURTHER THAT i HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?

If you have that much pressure on the system then the problem must be in the compressor or one of the switches that control the compressor coming on. I would take it to a shop and have someone diagnose it for you. This is the easiest way to find out what is wrong. You can check the compressor to see if it is kicking on by starting the car and watching the compressor. Have someone turn the AC on while you watch, if the clutch engages the compressor will begin to turn if it doesn't turn the compressor could be locked up or the relay could be bad if it doesn't engage. There are a host of other items to check but try that first.
