Gauges will show pressure, but you won't have enough Freon for it to cool properly. This can also cause the pressure to vary, which is hard on the compressor and seals.

One passenger seat turned into a driver's seat.

So I've been having problems with the window switch on my jeep. It cuts in and out periodically and the window lock control that lets the passenger control their own windows has been busted for a while. So I got a replacement switch from the junkyard, and it was messed up too. So I decided to open one up to see if I could fix it. I cleaned the contacts on all the switches (super dirty) and found cracks in two solder joints associated with the window lock. Threw some solder on there and everything works again.

Not much, just need a vacuum pump. Before you charge a system up, you've got to vacuum the system down, pulling the air out, essentially creating a vacuum. Otherwise you're trying to cram Freon into a sealed system already full of air.
Gauges will show pressure, but you won't have enough Freon for it to cool properly. This can also cause the pressure to vary, which is hard on the compressor and seals.

No, I don't lick fish.

Thanks. No I am going to leave them as they are. When I was deciding on whether to buy the Sand or Black Coverking Rhinohide seat covers I consulted this woman I know. The Sand did not really match the Camel interior. She said go with the Black. I said do you think it will look funny with the Camel plastic molding. Her logic was that the Jeep was already Black on upper parts and Camel lower parts so it will follow a scheme. Grabbed some shots off the internet to show what I have in my Jeep. Of course that could change once I get them in there and stare at it for about 3 days.

Doesn't mean it still could not happen. Would rather find Agate pieces for the seats though instead of trying to paint what I have. I have the worst rattle can paint skills. Finding an Agate driver's power seat molding could prove challenging though.

Got the oxalic acid and distilled water in the cooling system and taking it out for a couple of hours. Haven't driven it that long in about 2 yrs. Time to have some long overdue fun!
