No cooling.
I bought some R134 and went to add it in. The freon starting leaking out the bottom of the hose connect, than I heard a loud sound (noise sounded the same as when you disconnect an air tool from air hose). I think something is screwed up...hopefully not my compressor and just a hose.
What do you think should be my next move to diagnose my issue?

If its leaking out around the hose I would try to replace that first.If it turns out to be the compressor for sure then just take back the hose with reciept and start looking for around here for compressor's

Just start looking around to see where are the refrigerant is leaking out.

Don't just add **** it. . . It never works out the way you want it to.

Yea...try to find the leak. If its in a hose, depending on where it is, I can tell you how to fix it without buying a new hose. Just depends on exactly where the leak is. If its at one of the metal crush type couplers, there's a way to fix it for free. Well, you'll need to buy two small clamps.

I got a new hose and added in more freon. I put two can, the dehydrator got cold but no cold air out of vents. The compressor never clicked on and that with two cans put in. I shut it down and tried to find a leak but no evidence of a leak to the hoses. I'll go over it with a closer after may e putting in some dye. I'm wondering if I have a leak or a blockage in the system prevent pressure from getting to compressor allowing it to turn on

Or the relay could be out?

disconnect the battery and reconnect. I had to do that on a 98 firebird when I charged the system. With efilive the compressor would kick on, and that is how I charged it, but once I turned it off, it would not work, a quick battery reset and all was good.

How did you get 2 cans into the system with the compressor off?

Found the issue; got a hole in the ac line that connects to the lower end of the condenser to the back of the compressor.
that's a hard line to replace as it sits behind the compressor. anyone know if there's a fix for the rubber part of the hose?
