Dont know whats wrong with my A/C

My fans are blowing but its not cool air. The A/C button also flashes. I thought that this could be due to low refrigerant, maybe a leak. When I went to refill my refrigerant it wouldn’t take it into the system. My next thought was maybe the low pressure switch is not allowing the refrigerant to enter the system, so I tried jumping the clutch which did not work. So then I got pressure gauges and hooked them up to the low and high pressure valves and there is refrigerant in the system already. My clutch engages for about two seconds then cuts off. So then I thought I would try to replace the clutch but that didn’t work either. I got no clue where to go from here.

This is one of the best threads with troubleshooting information.

 

Flashing A/C switch likely means the compressor or the clutch on it has a problem. Check to see if the compressor is running, had this problem on my 2010 and it was the magnetic clutch, have seen a few videos where they hit it and it engages.

 

At this point I would take it a shop and have them properly evacuate the entire system(unless you have a vac pump already) and refill with a measured and prescribed amount of refrigerant and oil in order to even start to diagnose the problem
or study up on you tube about diagnosing and repair of AC systems. I was surprised how much is involved specific to vehicle and in general like how the gauges read different according to ambient temp at the time
assuming it is low and sticking in a can is the most common way things get worse.
It can be anything from leaves jammed in a blend door to a blown fuse for the clutch to an expansion valve plugged or even bugs clogging up the cooling fins on the outside of the condenser and if overfilled it wont let the gas decompress and make it act like the system is plugged up somewhere, if it got moisture in there it wont last long the dryer can plug up the system so I would start fresh and hope the compressor is still good
