2010 Chevrolet S-10 Repair Question
Mileage: No information provided.
S10 freon charge
I follow the instructions in the can and let the car run for more than 25 minutes but the freon can is still full.
Is this the right valve? I asked people at the auto part stores and they did'nt know.
Also, the gasoline gage is not working, do I have to take the gas tank apart to fix it?
Asked by sammy57Answer
The one on the canister is the right one, in order for the freon to enter the system the compressor has to run. start the truck and let it run . if your freon is that low and the compressor does not turn on you will have to pull the low pressure switchplug from the accumulator and attach a jumper wire. this will keep the compressor on so the system can be charged. it usually takes about two can of r 134a to fill the system
Thank you kindly. Now, how do I go about disconecting the swicht and jump the air conditinioning?
Also, how long does it take to empty a can of freon?
I am going to try to put the freon and would like to know how long I should let the car run. Also do I have to shake the can of freon once I get it connected?
Thank you again for your help. Santos R.
