Hello,

Are you using a can that came with a gauge or did you already have a single gauge.

When it showed full were you still filling the system? If so reattach and close the valve down, the valve used to puncture can and see what it reads.

And it read full?

Does the gauge appear to be accurate?

Check the Cycling Switch. Disconnect harness and jump the terminals, if the compressure kicks in and stays replace switch.
