Default lost my cold air

3 months ago on a warm day i tried my 2000 air cond. the comp short cycled. i added a little freon and it stayed on. added just a little more and buttoned up.
it worked flawlessly , COLD, till 4 days ago.
started up and felt/heard a faint vibration with air on, none with air off.
it also dissappeared when i shifted into gear, loaded the engine.
a day later the faint vib stayed in/out of gear. air still cold
2 days ago the air was getting warmer, not as cold.
i added a little freon, no help.
today no cold at all, heard slight squeal. not sure if belt or compressor.
compressor turns on/off with air /heat.
air temp varies from hot to cool/ambient so blend door seems to be ok.
good hot heat, no cold with comp running.

any ideas?

Hello Nu!

You and I may be having the same issues. You can check out my most recent posts. Did you find out any information?

I'm going to recharge my system and check for leaks.
