AC Issues I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for my gf to leave work for about 10 minutes. As I was on the highway back home, the AC quit working ( blowing only hot air ). I tried turning it off, back on etc, but the compresser clutch would not kick on. I was told this usually means that the system is just low on pressure and needs to be filled for the compressor to turn on so I went and bought a refill kit from the local auto store. However, when I plug up the guage to the low side, the pressure guage is through the roof, literaly. Its past the 'red' mark on the guage which is well over 100#'s of pressure. Now, I'm extremely scared to start adding additional refridgerant when the guage looks max. Is it showing this because the compressed isnt kicking on?
