 Hey guys, SheaBear1000 here today. We're in a 2004 Ford Taurus My brother-in-law said he put free on in it and It's still not It's not blowing cold air. So let's check it out and see what's going on. Hey guys, so I got the car sitting here running We're gonna turn the AC on It's blowing 71 degrees almost 72 about 71 and a half degrees Is what that air is blowing max everything's maxed out. So you can raise your temperature up here gauge Was reading fool. I checked his gauge. I Want to see if I can't find my gauge, but Right down here put this gauge on here and check his gauge and then I'll see if I can find mine But I see a can of this 134 a. All right, I see a can of this Arctic freeze stop leak he told me put stop leak in it And I see a can of this refrigerant with stop leak There's three cans. I know this car would not take this many cans So I don't know if maybe put too much of that with a stop leak in or what But I gotta get some of that out of there. So Let me go see if I can find my stuff Okay, guys, I went down a new gauge. I got some free on and I want to check it. I've removed a bunch of that out if you can hear it, that's the pump kicking on and off the Air conditioner compressor So I had to remove a lot of that out of there and hardly any Hardly any of the refrigerant came out because It had two cans of that stop leak in it So what we're going to do is we're going to check it now and hopefully it'll read low Pressure side. I'll get you down here to where you can see that. I'm gonna screw my can on here And we're going to add some refrigerant Okay, so this is what I'm using here And I'm just going to screw this on now the right way to do this is to run a vacuum on it I found my vacuum pumps My vacuum pump, but I couldn't find my gauge is to pull a vacuum on it There's hope so hopefully this would be all right Now we're going to stick this on here you're going to squeeze this We're going to squeeze the handle for about 10 to 15 seconds at a time You want to shake the can and just kind of move it back and forth like this I Feel the can starting to get cold and the pump is already staying on longer. So You know, I wanted to be between 35 and 40 You don't want to dump it upside down because you want the gases to go in not the liquid See the pump stand on a lot longer now What I think it was even though it said it had refrigerant in it I think he had too much stop leak in it. We're getting up there. This can's getting cold. That's good And you want to keep this away from any heat you want to keep your can away from any heat We're getting up there Then we'll check the temperature of what's coming out of the air vents Because it was what what was it 71 72 degrees. I did get it down when I Let some of that stuff out of there that stop leak out. I got it down to 61 or 62 so that went down 10 degrees Just by letting that stuff out. So that was telling me then it didn't have enough cooling in it But the right way to do this is use your gauges and a scale And it'll tell you on here on one of these stickers right up. There's Where like how how much weight you're supposed to put in? They were almost up to 30 now Hopefully we'll get it down into the 50s. We're up to third 29 right now Like I said, I wanted to be between 35 and 40. So I'm gonna try to get it up to 40 So I'm gonna keep doing this Until we get it up there, and then we'll check the temperature what's coming out of the air vents Okay, so I got it on 40 See when you squeeze that trigger it goes down and it puts more in you just Turn it like that. Maybe shake it a little bit. Don't turn it upside down So it's all 40 there so What I'm gonna do We're gonna go in and see what the temperature is coming out of the vents Okay, we're back in the car. We got it down to 57.9 58 degrees This thing will only go down to 60. That's as low as you can turn it down. So I think we got it. I'm gonna let it sit here and run a while and Everything should be all right. Okay, so we got that fixed That's all they need to done on it But it's holding steady at 57 So she should be pretty good with that It's blowing some super cold air Like I said, you know, I turn that down to 60 degrees on this. This is a 2004 Ford Taurus so Yeah, it should be all right So like I said, I'm gonna let it run make sure everything's okay. I think he just had Even that says refrigerant you shouldn't have to put two cans. That's two 12 ounce cans Just just of just a stop leak. That's 24 ounces That's too much. I mean just to begin with you saw the gauge it was maxed I mean it was way over and like I said as soon as I I Started taking some out No refrigerant came out at all What I did was I hit the button to see what came out a little while a little bit of refrigerant came out And then it was all green stuff all that green which is also a leak detector all that green stuff came out Started coming out and I knew there wasn't enough refrigerate refrigerant and it to take care of it. So You know, I mean it had pressure of course because it had stuff in it But it didn't have the freon that it needed in it. So I Think it's gonna be all right now give her a call later and tell her I think it's all right Yeah, like Sam will let it run for a little bit. I'm getting kind of chilly. So it's You know the cabin of this car is pretty big. So Yeah, I think it's going I think I think everything's gonna be alright. So it's holding between 57 and 59 so And like I said, it only go down to 60 degrees here. So that's all it's gonna let it come down is right in there. So It's gonna be fine. I believe so anyway, there you guys go Yeah, I just drained that let that green stuff come out there wasn't any refrigerant coming out of It I just put a rag around the screwdriver kind of kept touching it in there until I got it down to where The pump was kicking on and off then I knew it was low So then you know, I figure if I put 12 ounce in that's what I did It took about that 12. I'm gonna say it took about 10 ounces of it. So and it put it Well the 40 yeah 40 pounds so yeah, that should be alright. So yeah, it's a It's holding pretty steady at about 58.1 right now Like I said that can only go down to 60. So I Think it'll be fine All right guys. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it if you got a full system and you have to you have to Like replace the AC compressor or something Don't let that stuff out in the air Because that's that's illegal here in the United States. Don't do that. Take it somewhere. They'll they'll suck all that stuff out for you And then you can you can fill it up yourself once you get it done so there you go, that's it You know when I had my shop I had you know all that stuff What it does it sucks it out and puts it into another can you can actually reuse that stuff. So there's another way That I thought I was gonna have to do but I didn't have to do it There's another way I can do it, but I'm not gonna tell you how cuz not the right way. It's not illegal But it's not the safest way to do it. So Anyway guys, I'm good with that. I think she'll be good with it. It's pretty cold in here. So Yeah jumped up to 59 it's 58 Point nine so yeah Like I said this thing will only go down to 60 degrees in here. So that should be alright Thanks for watching guys. Shea bear the myth man legend. I'm gone for now You have any questions leave them in the comments below and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge. So Let's see you guys on the next one. Thanks again, and bye. Bye guys.
