a/c not cold

I replaced the fan resistor , fan now working. then came the compressor clutch not coming on. added a little freon , it is now working , but the ac is not cold in the car just blowing regular warm air, any idea would be great thanks...

How did you know how much freon to add?

I'm betting you did not.

Must use gauges and know what you are doing to get the freon right.

i bought a Auto zone freon can with the gauge on it and filled it until it got to the blue level ,
you are right i maybe did not put enought or ? i am taking it to the ac place to let them charge it.. and will post the result...

I usually see people put the freon level to about "345" on the dial, but never over that.

U were right the freon was still low, even though the gauge from auto parts
says it was full in blue like it was suppose to be..its colld as ice right now thanks to all

I never used a guage when I refill the system with freon. Let the low pressure side suck in freon until it doesn't suck in any more. for a home job a guage is overkill as far as I am concern. His problem is probably the compressor clutch is not engaging. Take a hammer and give the compressor a whack may loosen a frozen clutch. Hey, this is home garage remedy. Let's not complicate the diagnostic.

The freon was added at a professional a/c shop...
the mickey mouse gauges at auto parts sucks. it said it was full in the blue section . which was bull s....t
so i just took it to a a/c shop they charged it and works beautiful
