2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L

A/C will not blow cold air. It will blow semi-warm air at all fan speeds.
I can hear the compressor turning off and on. It sounds like it is on or trying to turn on for 2 seconds. Will stay off for 6 seconds. Cycle continues as long as A/C is turned on

Checked Coolant and it was below low level. I added more just today and issue continues.
I purchased a Measure and Charge R-134a Refrigerant & Oil canister.
When the Compressor is cycling it measures 5psi when off (6seconds)and shoots up to 45psi (2seconds).
I gave it a quick shot and it went up to 65psi, but conitnued to cycle off and on.
Did not want to break anything more than what it might be already?

Is the compressor going?
Is it the belt? Is it electrical?

 

Ok can anyone refer a mechanic in Houston, Texas that is honest and great with Ram Pickups?

 

Just making a post so it will move back to top of list..
some one has to have some kind of advice...or referral...

you going to start with the low pressure switch? that should be your next step. also it looks like you found the manual from the dodge info thread at the top??? very useful to have!

 

.... lol, good job! See, these forums ARE helpful ...... welcome to DF

 

Yesss Sirrr.. that Dodge Manual (Early Christmas) is the best thing! I love this Forum!

 

sounds like it just low on R-134a to me.

 

So that's what causes that, eh. Mine's done it since I purchased, but the AC and stuff workes fine so I didn't worry about it.
