I bought this in early April 2023. It was impressively clean inside and out. It's actually a Suburban. I thought I did a great job checking everything before I bought it, but I missed some important things. During my inspection the weather was very mild, there was no need to use the A/C or the heat. After purchasing it the weather got warm outside, I went to use the A/C, it didn't work. I checked under the hood, the clutch for the A/C did not engage. Simple enough I thought, it just must need more R-134. I added some and brought the pressure up to 32 PSI, within the green range. The clutch did not engage, I thought it should have. So, I started thinking. Then I realized I never checked the heat, so I tried it. It was only luke warm. So, I turned all the way up to 90, still luke warm.
I've been working on my cars and family and friend's cars for 30+ years and have had great successes.
But in this case, I need some help.
Pls let me know what you think.
