Please help me out a bit because I rarely work on A/C.
Very good condition/maintained 2007 Chevy express ~150k miles, my retired parents' 2nd car for utility needs. Currently sees only about 5/6k miles a year so sits a bit. A/C last used a few weeks ago and worked a-OK. We used it yesterday and no A/C, compressor not attempting to engage/simply nothing. We swapped fuses and the relay but nothing. Got home and checked pressure, was 150/60 my dad said. He tried putting freon in and it just equalized across, 100/110. I googled causes and found nothing common other than low-pressure switch electrical pigtail, checked it but it did not look bad and playing with it made no difference as most people said that jiggling it would get it to kick in.
So, new compressor? Or try...?
