The video posted is really short, but it cycles on and off a half dozen times during it -- almost the definition of compressor stall. It seems controlled, though, as if the computer is turning it on and off, versus something like a broken wire or something.Originally Posted by tom4bren
Have you flipped through the the tech manual? Starting on page 1A-61 is a quick test that involves looking at a little sight glass to get and idea of the fill. The other tests involve gauges and VOMs. In short, there's a little cannister to the right of the radiator, with a circular window on top that allows you to see the coolant moving. You should see a few bubbles that disappear when you rev the engine. If you see foggy, foamy, or nothing, then you've got refrigerant problems.
The AC is active when the defroster is on -- AC pulls moisture out of the air, which makes it effective on foggy windows.
