thanks 4 the quick reply; is your ability to get HEAT and DEFROST tied at
all to the 'new A/C compressor and a fresh charge of R12'? That's my
current top priority.
Can you turn on your fan withOUT the engine running; if so how? (I just
want to test the fan itself)
Without special equipment, can I myself test whether/not i need a new
compressor or R12 charge? (or do you think my symptoms have already
confirmed the need for one or both?)
thanks
PS: my vehicle is NOT a turbo...
