One day the AC was working great and then the next day it was blowing hot. The compressor is cycling on and off. I checked the inlet blend door actuator and it seems to be working, I say this because as I turn it from hot to cold I can feel the actuator turning when I place my finger on it. I jumped the low pressure switch and still no cold air. The compressor is clicking on and off, not sure if it is doing it too fast or not because I am not sure how fast that cycle is suppose to be. I put a gauge on the low side, the only gauge I own is from one of those cans you buy from the auto part stores, and the gauge fluctuates back and forth from side to side. I also reset the AC control module by taking out the fuse and following a outlined sequence of turning the key on and off. Also, last year the system was vacuumed down and the orifice tube was replaced. Not sure if this will help but at the accumulator one line is cold and the other is not.
I need some guidance as to what could be the problem. I would like to try to fix it on my own if I can so I can save the money of going to a shop.
