Help with AC problem
I just bought a 98 Dakota Sport 4x4 with 5.2 V8 and the AC would not work. Got it home and started checking it out and got it going but clutch cycling and not cooling, put on a cheap gauge I have and it shows Freon low, add 1 can and system is cooling good, shut it off to run down to parts store for a can with AC oil it. Then start truck to put the oil in the system but now the compressor clutch wont kick in. My guess is a bad switch somewhere but which one would it be? I changed the clutch relay and still wouldn't engage.

Go buy a set of gauges from Harbor Freight, they are $45, don't mess around with adding more R-134a until you know for sure that is what you need. Same with the oil...
AC parts aren't cheap to replace and can easily be destroyed by overcharging the system. If your system is low on freon, it likely means you have other issues, check it out properly.
