Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / June 2005Help: Recharging AC on 96 G Voyager SE
Hello all, I read in the Haynes manual when I recharge the AC system with very low Freon I have to short a switch/sensor for which turns on the compressor but it does not tell in detail where this is located. Can somebody who has had to this on my model or similar model point me in detail or even better send me a pic of that switch/sensor in the engine compartment. Thanks, Greg > Hello all, > > I read in the Haynes manual when I recharge the AC system with very low > Freon I have to short a switch/sensor for which turns on the compressor > but it does not tell in detail where this is located. Don't do this! A better way is to get a bowl of hot water, not boiling, just as hot out of the tap as you can make it, and immerse the freon can in it. The heat from the bowl will supply the heat needed by the can for it's contents to vaporize and go into the A/C system. Once you have a can or two in there then the A/C compressor will start cycling. Ted the best way is have the car tested for a leak which you have and i would bet it's at the evap. coil remember r134 is still freon and is escaping into the air and the sealers you see in the recharge kits react with air so when it reacts with the air in your plumbing guess what gets plugged up too > > Hello all, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Ted R134 is Freon?

I thought Freon was banned in auto AC use? Freon is becoming a generic word meaning A/C refrigerant much like kleenex has become a generic word meaning tissue - of course the manufacturers of both are fighting it... Ted > R134 is Freon? I thought Freon was banned in auto AC use? R-12 isn't even "Freon." "Freon" was DuPont's trademarked name for their line of refrigerants. But in common parlance, any refrigerant is "freon" just like any facial tissue is a "kleenex" and any adhesive bandage is a "band-aid." Deal with it. Do not put Freon in it either. It takes R134.
