It's been awhile since I've posted. Got a question about the AC system. When I purchased the car last fall, the AC worked just fine. I turned it on a couple of times this winter to keep it circulated and verify that all was well. Well, now all she does is blow hot air. I don't hear the compressor running, either. I'll verify that by raising the hood.

I believe I have a system leak (at least, I hope that is all it is). Does this system have a low pressure cutoff switch? Also, which line is the low pressure hose and which is the high? I intend to recharge the 134a with fluorescent dye and try to find the leak with a blacklight.

Any suggestions?
