Has this 240 had her A/C converted over to r134a? 200 1991

Thanks for the quick response.

Apparently you can still buy r12 so should I just try and recharge the system with that?

I also can't really hear the compressor turn on & off and I noticed that the A/C console switch does not light up blue when used (but the other console switches to have lights). So I'm wondering if maybe it's a bad switch. I'm going to try getting to the rear of that switch tomorrow and just shorting the wires to see if that turns the compressor on or not.

I don't know much about working on air conditioning systems but I'm guessing that I can hook some sort of gauge up to the system and see if it has sufficient pressure or not?

r12 looks a little expensive and I'd hate to waste money on a bottle of it if the system has other issues.

Thanks again in advance,
Dan
