yeah didn't break the seal on the a/c , first few times we cranked her over turned the air on and it put load on the motor but after a few seconds the air cut off and the a/c light started flashing , i was thinking it may have been there not being enough gas in the system , but i was hoping it wasn't that as i heard the new gas is not as good as the older stuff but ill have another look around the connections and will let you know how it goes
