Last year I charged this system. Now it just blow little cooler than warm. I do not like new cars. This is not mine it is my Mother's car. She is 79, the AC has to work here in Texas. Period! What is wrong with this system? It has front and rear AC controls. Thanks

Good afternoon.

Do you have a set of gauges to test the pressures of the system? We need to see the high and low side pressures to be sure the system is working correctly.

Can you see if the compressor is engaging?

Yes the compressor engages. But I think there is more to it. Because it has controls for front and back. I like the old systems before all this electronic stuff they stick in cars kids that drive cars now.

Okay, the next step is to check the pressures. If you have a receiver dryer with a sight glass, can you see if it is clear or cloudy?
