[gonzales7727]

Turn the little knob so that the white section is pointing towards the blue instead of the red.

Take a hammer to it. When that doesn't work, take it to a AC repair place to have them look at it, they'll probably tell you the AC clutch is out or the compressor is stupid or something, but I'd not screw with Freon if I were you.

[gonzales7727]

bunch of funny fuckers here huh?!
yes the ac and I don't trust anyone around here that does ac
any other clues

[alphalanos]

well, you probably need freon. so youre going to need someone that is certified to work on A/C systems. if you can live with no AC then you will probably save some money...

yup, the only way your getting your AC back is if you bring it into a shop... there is a special machine that you need to put more freon (sp?) back in... chances are you have a leak in the lines.

65 lbs of what??? i hope to god ur not sayin refrigerant...please tell me ur not talkin bout refrigerant (freon) even if u meant 6.5...that is still bad...

After so long the freon will go out and you have to get it refilled. If your car is a 96 and you have yet to get it done. My car hade the same problem and its a 2000. Go somewhere else if you dont trust the poeple around you.

ok, i meant to say .65lbs, I already drained it myself and added freon, checked for leaks, nothing, and i also changed all the lines last summer and put in freon and it worked all summer but know it's blowing hot, and it's for my wife not me.

maybe the door is stuck to hot, can u here it closing and opening when you switch it over to cold?

[i3o2Matt]

.65 is low...usually its like almost 2 lbs dude...i just took HVAC in college for auto technology...saturns hold like 1.7lbs...i think thats ur problem right there....also did u make sure u put oil back in if any came out?? did u pull a vacuum n do all those things associated with it?? HVAC isn't somethin to fuck around with

it should tell you under the hood or in the service manual how much refrigerant goes in there...as well as how much oil.

[gonzales7727]

well, i had about 2.5lbs in it before, but i drained it, do you think getting it vaccumed and recharged, will help?

[i3o2Matt]

yeah...u need to do a recovery...pull a vacuum on it..look on the compressor as to how much is supposed to be in there...make sure it holds a vacuum...add oil if any came out...then put the amount of refrigerant in that is needed
