AC quit - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Subfixer · 05-22-2021

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.
