Hmmmmmm, There is a lot more to AC systems sometimes.
Is the clutch on the AC compressor turning when you have the AC on? How much pressure is currently in the system? Does it have AC in the back of the vehicle?
cant recall on 96 if it is o-rings or gasket but defineitly has a seal that is now leaking. remove line,replace seal and use an evac. pump to pull a vacume on system. If it holds a vacume without leaking it will hold a charge and you wont waste your freon testing. Plus you should always evac. system before charging anyway
their has to be a leak you will need yellow uv glasses and a blacklight to find it.. if the evaporator core is leaking it won't be visible since it is located inside the heater case behind the dash. make sure to look at all ac components, compressor, lines, fittings, reciever dryer, and condenser a cheap book for your car will show you the locations of these components in case your not familiar with the system
you have to put a special die into teh system and then use ultra violet light and special glasses to see the leak.Sorry no quick fix ,normal places for a leak are the front seal on the compressor or one of the flexible pipes gone porous
how long have you have the car? for the best of your knowledge, have you ever have the a/c system serviced?
well, the car is 10 years old, the freon may have been escaped slowly over time. freon is a gas so it will not be sealed forever. when the mechanic recharge your a/c he should injected ( you can ask him to do so ) some dye in the system then charge it up to the specification. if you have a large leak, your mechanic can find it right away. if you have a small leak then the dye will show up in a later time ( when the a/c stop working )
you are going to have to put tracer dye in the system and check for leaks if no leaks then might be low on freon and or there is a resistance in one of the lines
replace the broken parts of course, what other choice do u have.?
