A/C problems, need advice
At some point yesterday the a/c went out in our car. It was working in the morning then at some point mid-afternoon it stopped blowing cold air. I checked for blown fuses, found none. When you press the a/c button I dont hear the compressor click on, but i cant recall ever being able to hear the click of the a/c compressor clutch engage. However, the engine rpms to bump up when you turn on the a/c. I hopped on hear and started searchin around and found numerous threads on condenser damage and the symptoms fit. Today I took a peek through the grill and as you can see, after 6 years, the condenser is beat to hell.
To verify that the condenser was leaking I tried Autozone to see if they had a pressure gauge, they did not. I ended up going to Wal-Mart and buying the refill kit that comes with a gauge. I followed the instructions on the can AS IF i was going to recharge the system. WHen i hooked up the gauge this is the reading i got.
The gauge indicates that the system is overcharged big time so where do i go from here? Am i right in assuming that with such high pressure that there isn't a leak in the condenser? Any ideas on any troubleshooting i can do from here or is it just time to take it to a repair shop?
Thanks in advance for the help, Justin
