Finally Getting Air Conditioning Back? Testing the LSXcalade AC System!

What happens here

Facing persistent purging of the AC system, the presenter calls a friend named Tanner for expert advice. Tanner suggests that the purging sound is likely due to the system being overfilled with refrigerant or having a blockage that prevents proper flow, causing excessive pressure to build up. He recommends checking for green dye, which is commonly added to refrigerants to help locate leaks. Following this advice, the presenter visually inspects the AC compressor and surrounding lines for any signs of green dye, indicating a leak. He notes some dampness but no clear green discoloration. He then restarts the engine and re-tests the AC compressor by directly connecting the wire to the battery. This time, the compressor engages without immediate purging, and the engine's RPM remains stable.

Goal: Troubleshoot the AC purging issue and achieve successful compressor engagement.

nutz let's call tanner if he even picks up I got a question for you I wired up my AC compressor and when it runs for a couple of minutes it just goes and like there's like purges itself okay so if it's coming out of a spot that's not the purge valve then I get I definitely have a problem yeah that makes it so let's see if there's any green stuff on the back of that compressor find out where his charge is actually coming from I don't know he saw as well as I did but it looks like it was coming from down there I can't see anything and I don't see really anything going on here it's not wet anywhere to my visible all right not even like the plug wires that go behind the compressor I don't see anything there yeah it might be a little little damp on top of the bracket but I can't really tell the only way to find out is to fire it up again and look a little closer you know was up to six minutes affecting the film and other 46:48 degrees sighs event not the actual hair laughter feels nice and here it doesn't come out of this one too well because for the cage bar that duck had to get cut so what I can do is pop this off and get some like flexible ducting to go from where it's sliced over here back to this because I'm the backside of this it's just like a nice big mouth that you could just put a hose right around so it would work really well same thing for over there but they see is just as strong out of these vents as it was far as I remember it and the seat should work too yes when the a zika birth is not on these are just ventilated seats but now now they are ACC's again it feels so nice real goosebumps this is a game changer boys I'm actually gonna start driving this thing all the time like if it's not broken I'm driving it you get some full exhaust on here some 22s and we are going full daily driver
