    Thanks for the awesome video. I knew how to recharge AC just needed to know where to look on an Escape. I appreciate your accuracy and brevity.

    This is my first time doing car repairs on my escape since my grandpa died. I bet he’s laughing at me in heaven. I wish I would’ve paid attention when he was trying to teach me how to fix my car now

      Yes you can do it with the engine hot, but careful of the radiator fan and hot exhaust and engine parts.

    • @mavericksmith9017
      @mavericksmith9017 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its more than likely a bad leak check all the hoses and there's a dye you can get for detecting leaks but you'll need some sort of light to see the dye and if there's not leaks from the condenser or the hoses it's more than likely either bad climate control cluster which is the nobs to your heat and AC or the worse case, it's the AC compresser and yes im in the same boat I have a 2010 escape I've had to replace the starter, the AC condenser, and the motor, and now possibly the catalytic converter and I lost AC and I lost 1, 2, and 3 settings on my heat and AC so my hope is it just needs recharged but I'm thinking it's the climate control cluster or the compresser and if it's a compresser then I guess I won't have AC lol because they are expensive to fix unless you know someone.

    • @DirtRoadAutoRepair

      Pull the trigger while oscillating the can. When you want to check the pressure in the system to see if you’ve filled enough let go of the trigger.

    Freon: How do you add Freon when the compressor won't turn because of low freon?

    • @DirtRoadAutoRepair
      @DirtRoadAutoRepair  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just start adding and the pressure in the can should eventually kick the compressor on.

    Thanks.

    • @DirtRoadAutoRepair
      @DirtRoadAutoRepair  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      2-3 8oz cans. If it is at completely zero you have a hole somewhere and it will leak out again. Also make sure you don’t over fill it. When the gauge is mid way through the green you’re good.

      That’s odd. This is purely a guess but your compressor may have sized up. With the engine turned off, you could take off the belt, jump the ac clutch relay and try to turn the compressor by hand.
