AC worked great all last year.
This year, nothing.
I have no error codes on the HVAC head unit. All fuses OK.
Watched the Tech 1 display and I have no AC request unless I ground ckt 762, then the compressor runs.
With the system not running, I have about 15 psi at the low side fitting.
When the compressor runs, I have 0 psi at the low side.

Pretty sure most of the freon is gone. Looks like there is a leak inside the pressure sensor where the harness plugs in (looks like some green dye in there). On the hunt for one of those (system is a complete '95 134a system in my '92).

I don't want to have the system refilled only to find out another sensor is bad. More troubleshooting tomorrow.

the sensors have an oring and are essentially pushing on the valve in the fitting they attach to. do you see green beyond the inside of the fitting?

I suggest checking the high side gauge port. I ended up installing the correct R12 fitting then I used an aluminum cap (like found on the fuel rail gauge fitting) and I have not had an issue with leaking since

However, I also pulled vacuum on my system and left the gauges connected for a couple days to monitor for any leaks.
