A/C question
So yesterday my a/c decided to not blow cold at all. Figuring that all it needed was a shot of freon since the clutch was coming on and didn't shut off. I hooked up the bottle and the gauge is reading in the red between 60 and 150. Where should I start? I have never done anything to the system except a little freon once a summer. Thanks for your help.

a low charge symptom is short cycling. compressor not shutting off is not a low charge symptom.
feel the metal hoses as they near the firewall...the large diameter hose/low pressure side should be cold and the high side hose should be hot.
-verify the temp blend doors in the dash are moving from hot to cold.

I have two of those a/c Freon gauges from different manufacturers. Being in red on both of them is dangerous and in "alert" range.
Is it possible that you overcharged your a/c system?
Your Freon level may have been fine, and actual problem was something else like blend door, condenser fan, or faulty relay
