My a/c is not functioning atm.
I've had an auto electrician up to have a look, and his computer came up with the following:-
1. Evap solenoid circuit faulty .
2. Ac refrigerant circuit low voltage pressure sensor.
3. Heater control circuit faulty.

He thought that I should get the gas refreshed/refilled and then get no 2 sorted, and it should get the a/c working again.
I've done both of them, but still no joy.
Can somebody advise me which parts I should buy to cure the two other faults please?
I've looked at lists of parts for the system, but there's so many and I don't want to buy things that I do not require.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Not sure an electric guy is the right person to take it to, they usually just put their scanner on there and read codes. Go to a good AC guy that can put his two gauges on there (high and low) and get a good reading. I buy and sell cars on the side and have gotten pretty good with car AC's, they are really not all that complicated. If the compressor is running, and you have a good charge, that's half the battle. The weak link on the Camaro's is the blend door.
