I'm not sure what happened to the compressor, yet I thought I flipped
the switch on and off of AC. At this point, who knows, it was hot and I
was in a bad mood about the AC going south. The compressor has had a
slight leak for awhile, and I thought the r134 w/ sealant had jacked it
up even more. The gauge said zero pressure, after being nice and cold
that morning. The next question is whether or not to get it repaired
this summer, or just roll down the windows and wait until next spring.
Locally, there's only a few heat waves where you really need AC, though
any trip further inland, it's hot, and AC is needed.
