Second fixing the fuse-blowing short first. Ain't nothing like burning up a wiring harness!

Once the fan works, get a proper set of gauges on the system. I put two cans (24 ounces total in a system that takes 39 ounces!) into my poorly working a/c using a $20 gauge/can tap deal. I was an ASE Master Technician back in the day and know the risk of overfilling the system that I was running but I let the cheap bastard in me win.

The right way to do it is to find and fix the leak, change out the receiver/dryer, then suck the system down to boil out the moisture. After all that, put in the exact charge specified. Of course I did none of that but I should have (do as I say, not as I do! )

The thing is, after properly filling the system, you may find out that one of the pressure switches is bad. Then you get to drain the system, fix the switch, and redo the suck and fill job but that is just the nature of the beast.

Good Luck,
