My A/C stopped working (compressor stopped spinning) so I went to recharge the system.
Some of the hoses/tubes started to vibrate then some coolant actually squirted out the side of the compressor from what I can only assume is overpressurization. The compressor had started spinning before the apparent overpressurization occured, but after I saw the vibration and the squirting 134 I turned the A/C off
I haven't opened up the system yet, but I suspect a blockage somewhere in the system. Since the Ram uses a fixed orifice tube instead of an expansion valve I'm not sure where the problem might be.
My plan is to open up the system and check the various hoses (and consensor) using compressed air.
Any ideas?
