    It's to the right in that brown plastic, right where the picture cuts off.

    You might not have it, just like on this pic, then your problem might be somewhere else

    Ten4. Doesn’t look like I do. I have this big Volvo 24v box, but I doubt that’s it? F6551020-9973-46D9-A32A-C61BE0DB5B83.jpeg 7D3E62C9-E734-404F-B6F4-8BC171877473.jpeg 90F9947D-C8A3-46A6-81C3-2D3213C25197.jpeg

    You'd need an A/C gauge manifold. Typically speaking, a properly charged R134a system should have about 70 PSI on both sides of the system at around 70°F. If the refrigerant leaks out, the static pressure drops. There are pressure switches in the system. If static pressure is too low, the switches stay open and prevent the A/C clutch from getting power.

    You know, that makes a lot of sense.

    I think I’ll go get that checked out tomorrow. I don’t know why I forgot that part! I just figured if power wasn’t getting to the compressor that it might have been switch related in the cab. Thanks

    Update: well, I went to one of my local shops that have an evac machine. Almost 0 Freon. While doing the evacuation, I heard and found the leak. A $300 hose goes on tomorrow lol. It’s a S piece metal with a flange that hooks directly to the compressor, has a low pressure port on it, then about 3 or so foot of line with a spinning nut built into it. So I was thinking $150 or so but... It’s kind of nice though when you find the leak so fast.
