Hello all,
I have lurked for many years, but finally broke down and made an account because I'm stumped.
I have a 2000 k2500hd. My ac system gave up the ghost last year, there was a leak somewhere and then fall / winter came so it wasn't important.
I had a shop recently run a test for me and as expected, the compressor was leaking at its halfway point. I replaced the compressor 3 days ago and noticed that the service valve had a leak on the low side. I jiggled the schraeder valve and that stopped. Continued filling the system. Coldest ac I've ever felt in my life, until today
Noticed that the system was getting warm today. On my way out of work, I hooked the simple freon refill device up to the low side and there was 0 pressure. Everything leaked out. I drove home with the ac off, recirculation unclicked, but my compressor clutch was still running and i kept hearing a hissing noise from under the dash where the evaporator is.
Why would I be getting a leak / hiss noise and why would the compressor keep running if there's no pressure or refrigerant in the system? Is the evaporator blown?
