A/C stopped working but light is still solid

so my a/c worked fine all summer until the other day when turned on everything is the same as in the light is still solid and and is still blowing same amount of air just not cold, when i searched a/c problems on the forum everyone's problem was the blinking light, mine is still solid. anyone have any suggestions on what could be going on or what i can check?? its a 05 Tacoma
thanks so much

 

First think I would suggest is look under the hood to see if the compressor is engaged and go from there.

 

might need a freeon recharge

 

^^^ These two things.

Verify the compressor comes on. If so, hit it with a small can of R134A. If it gets cold again, you probably have a leak somewhere. Time to visit the A/C shop.

 

OK so I got it figured out and I think this might help people in the future with the same problem. I popped the hood and the compressor was not engaging. So I thought great compressor is toast. I then took it to my local AC shop. When the system is down on pressure it will not kick the system in. Here's the steps to test that. It kicks the compressor in so u know if that is gone or not

1. Start truck, turn AC on, pop hood
2, if compressor is not engaged and spinning locate the pressure sensor on the left side of engine by the head light on the aluminum AC tube
3. Take a piece of wire and cross out the sensor With it to make a closed circuit

The compressor will kick in if the system is low. If it dont kick in its most likely a Bad compressor
Hope This helps everyone. Its a really easy do it yourself That will save you hundreds From a shop
