Why will your 1992 ford explorer not take freon it is blowing hot air?

Answer 1

Alright. Well you have to ask yourself this: Is the freon leaving just as fast as you put it in? Answer: The seals within the A/c chamber are worn or rusted, thus not allowing pressure to build up. I found this out the hard way buy not charging my freon when i needed to. Not charging the freon allows for the seals and gaskets to "rest" and rust, as well as not do their job. If it wont hold vaccuum, it wont hold a charge. Also: This can cost a small fortune. I luckily had mine replaced at parts cost, because i know a master mechanic, but the cost to replace, repair and labor can cost more than a household A/c system which can run $2000. Good luck! You also need to bypass the pressure cut-out switch. If you don't, the compressor will NOT come on and you cannot put freon in, therefore you won't even know if it is leaking out as fast as you put it in.
