LO and HI sides are different sizes - very hard to get them wrong.

The LO side? It will bounce up t first, then back down.

Feel the can - you can feel the compressor pulling it in - and it'll get cold.
When the can stops getting cold - shake it - it's empty.
Close blue valve.
put the connector back on, it should stay running.
Check temperature at vent.

Okay got it right at 40, the compressor still won't stay running without being bypassed. Can someone take a picture of this. My connections don't seem right with what everyone is explaining to me.

What's that?! Could that be why the compressor won't kick on? It still blows cod when bypassed.

I love cherokee forum.. Do you think it would be a bad idea to leave the switch bypassed for the next couple days until the part is shipped? It's getting hot here.
