I have pulled the A/C, Radio and Courtesy fuses, but that did not help... I would expect to get a low freon code if this was the reason for the compressor not engaging?

I am going home to read the A/C Solutions from our site, but wonder if this sounds familiar to anyone, so I can fast track a diagnosis and repair this before Corvettes at Carlisle this weekend?

Does anyone know where I can have the A/C recharged/tested/repaired with R12 refrigerant in Maryland... or does WAZOO have a stockpile of the old stuff
good luck with finding r12..

my best guess is you have a leak on the High Side. my Old GTP took a rock or something in the Condenser and I would charge it with r134 and it would be gone the next day, found out it needed a condenser
