2010 A/C WON'T COME ON - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello, I am new to Camaro 5 so please forgive me if I do some thing wrong I have a,
2010 Camaro SS 6.2L
3 days ago my a/c all of a sudden quit cooling.
blower fan inside working good, but blowing hot air
compressor wont engage, inside the car everything looks as if it was engaging
checked fuse and relay, then hooked gauges to it, both sides equaled out to about 110
I hooked my snap on solus scanner to see if the hvac had any codes, no codes, checked all switches and compressor relay on/off everything seems to be working.
changed pressure switch, but still no power to my compressor.
after all this, I said well maybe the Freon is low, so I tried to add some but it wont take any.
my electric fans are working and I am out of ideas,

asking for help
thanks

You aren't going to get much help in a section that has been pretty much dead dead for 5 years.

jump the low pressure switch and see if the compressor starts..

if it does, you have a freon leak...

Yes usually low freon stops the compressor from starting, try this.

old thread lol but does anyone know the pins to bypass relay 216 or location of the hvac low pressure switch both fuses look ok ,just prior to the long drive to a hvac shop worth a try clutch is not kicking in

well it cycles on and off after a quick wash under the hood so probably either low on refrig or a loose pressure switch somewhere
