Replying to: caddi_boi (Feb 07, 2007 3:19 pm) compressor will not turn on and pull it in. You have to pull the plug off the compressor and "jump it" to switch on the compressor. Your best off going to a AC service place for a full testing, then evacuate the system, then recharge! |

Replying to: caddi_boi (Feb 07, 2007 3:19 pm) You need to re-set the error code. For a 1998 Cadillac, I'm pretty sure the codes can be reset yourself using the temp buttons on the dash. You need to 'google' for other Cadillac online forums, where there will be detailed info about how to display and reset the codes. It is rather straight forward. With the codes re-set, you should hook up the refrigrant can, then start the car and turn the A/C on, and hope it will pull in enough before the car re-sets the error code. And, jumping the compressor would probably work, just don't fry anything doing this. Jumping the sensor might also do it. I think, I am not sure, the sensor for low pressure is on the pipe that goes across the firewall. The sensor is on the passenger side of the car in this tube. |

Replying to: adragonsbane (Feb 08, 2007 9:45 am) Not sure how the 89 grille is held on or if its connected to the hood ??????? Can't remember how my 90 was. You can eyeball thru the grill and see if you can see the hood latch release. If so you may be able to "trip" the latch. Or get underneath and reach up and try to get hold of the cable and pull it to release it............. Tricky and a PIA but you can do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Replying to: adragonsbane (Feb 08, 2007 9:45 am) Came right open. There always was a little U-shaped dent in the front of the hood afterwards. I took the truck away from him and drove it for about 7 years. The dent didn't bother the operation of the truck at all.
