A/C Retrofit Question
Quick question:
Do the R134A retrofit adapters work on jeep cherokee's? I recently took my 90' w 4.0 to an shop and they said they couldn't add dye or freon to test the system because the inlet would accept anything. Its like the schrader valve wouldn't open. I replaced the retrofit adapters w new ones and still having the same problem.
Has any experienced this before? I'm wondering if the stock lines on top of the compressor are blocked.
I'm not doing this myself. I'm leaving it to the pros. Just wanted your guys opinions on this.

AC fittings are standardized for both R12 and R134 so the conversion adaptors should work fine. Nothing special or different with the Cherokee.
As long as the compressor is not seized up - which would be obvious - it should take refrigerant or dye.
Maybe the "Pros" you took it to simply don't want to mess with an old converted system.
