Default Ac Compressor Help.

My air is not working its just blowing out hot air. I just put 3 cans of freeon in it a few months ago and it was fine. I havent used it since then until now and it doesnt work. The compressor doesnt make any unusaul noises either.

Go have it checked with some pressure gauges. That will give you a better idea of whats going on....

A full charge or just some still in it? It will take a little bit before the pressure switch will actually allow the compressor to engage.

2 of the smaller cans is a good general rule, on our cars anyway.
