more A/C crap

[calimus@techography.net (calimus)]

Good point, but I found the culprit.  For whatever reason, the fan selector
switch is causing my problem.  If I position it in between speed's, the a/c
kicks on that and the fan comes on.  So I did this, charged the a/c system
with 2 can's of r-134 and now I have cool air coming out.  It's a pain to
get the selector in the right spot and keep it there, but it will have to do
untill I can replace it.  I would have had 3 cans on coolent in the system,
but the last can cross threaded the damn hose you have to use so I'll just
have to get another kit for the wifes cabby and add half a can to it when I
do hers.

Thanks to all that replied to me, I now know a lot more about the a/c
system.

William - driving just became a little bit cooler
