My MIL's 2012 Escape 3.0 V6 AWD AC is not working.
I've have used the freon cans in the past that have the gauge on them, but also read they can OVER pressure your system.
I looked at it this evening. I can see the compressor turning when the AC button is pressed....but I'm NOT hearing the "click" that compressors normally make.
She has taken it to Ford 3 times with them saying nothing is wrong, and when she picks it up...AC is working.
Now, the car is out of warranty.
What can a shade tree mechanic like myself check?
@Mike Overlay
Also, where can you check recalls online??....heard there might be a recall on AC stuff
