Default AC Problems

Hello Guys,
I have a 96 Ranger (4 cyl 2.3L - extended cab)

AC suddenly stopped working in all lower fan speeds, only worked on highest. I've been reading about a bad blower resistor could be the cause.

The problem gets worse: since Ive been having to use the AC in FULL speed, but now adjusting the temperature so I dont freeze, the compressor has also stopped working !!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
Ian

Default Compressor cycling on off

I put in some 134 gas and compressor cycles on and off continuosly.

Bad Coil? or compressor completely bad?

Its curious how it was not working at all before I put in some gas, and after that it does the cycling on off.. maybe there is a leak inside the compressor..

any ideas anyone?

Thanks
Ian

if you had to add coolant than yes there is a leak try to do a pressure test on pump up the system up to 50 lbs and see if in 24 hours you still have that pressure if not there is a leak and i don't know if 50 lbs is to much or not enough so you should check with a shop before you do it
