Hello,

Quick question. A/C system has never worked since I bought the car last year. Took the car to a shop to get the system vacuumed and add refrigerant, and after the whole process has been complete, we turned on the car to test, and nothing happens! A/C clutch engages perfectly, but nothing happens with the gauge readings. We noticed there was no circulation in the system. What do you think the problem might be?

Thanks

Bad compressor or blockage from setting are the most likely issues. Have it recovered then flush the system and see if anything comes out.
