I always run my A/C at least for 10 minutes every time I drive my 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger.
Last time I drove it in August the air did not seem very cool, well today it was blowing hot air. The last time this occurred a leak was discovered, I had the shaft seal replaced in Sept 2016 to stop the leak and thought I concurred all the gremlins. I know it was cooling in June 2018.
When I got home turned the A/C on and checked the glass on the Drier, I did not see any bubbling. I also could not recall hearing the compressor kick on with the hood up as I reached in the drivers window and pushed the A/C button. Fan blows and I hear vacuum controlled doors opening or closing a push the A/C button. I pulled the connection wire to the compressor an then re-connect, I could not detect any change the compressor. So pulled the wire connection and placed the positive lead from my volt meter in the lead one and used the body of the car a ground, needle did not move.
Was my volt meter check a proper test? Does this indicate switch problem?
If I am low on Freon will the system know not to run? Suggestions?
