Life Car AC Compressor Question..

**petegz28** · 08-08-2018, 06:54 PM

Wife's SUV was blowing cold air this morning and won't blow anything but hot air now. I threw an AC recharge can on but noticed even with the compressor clutch engaged, the pressure is still in the red. I would expect it to drop once the clutch engages.

Am I looking at a bad compressor even though the clutch is engaging?

Weird part is even with the AC off and the temp set at 70 or so, it feels like I am just getting hot air. Thought maybe the door thing that's supposed to change was not working but the pressure issue makes me think it's the compressor.

Any ideas or insight is appreciated.
