I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and the AC is not working. I am not sure if it is the compressor, lack of referigerant, etc.. I plan on taking it to a shop on Tuesday. Any tips before I go? Can I replace the refrigerant myself?

By the way, the fan works, all cotrols, etc.. Just no cool air.

Suggested Repair

Have a shop diagnose and service the A/C system. A leak or low refrigerant is possible, but recharging requires special tools and a recycling machine, so DIY recharge is not recommended.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara reports that the A/C produces no cool air while the fan and controls still work, and asks whether the compressor, low refrigerant, or a self-recharge could be the cause. The expert says a leak is possible and that recharging requires special tools and a recycling machine, so the shop should handle it.
