A/C stopped blowing cold air recently. Thinking my freon had probably run out I purchased a refill kit. Problem is, the compressor stopped turning has at all (when the problem first started, it would turn on and off and on and off). This is not allowing me to get a reading of the freon level. I don't want to make a mistake an accidentally overfill the freon, cause I heard this can cause quite a bit of damage.
By google-ing the issue it seems like some people recommend "jumping" the low pressure relay with a paper clip, which should get the compressor turning again. Should I try this? and if so, how exactly is this done? If anyone has pictures or a write up on this I would be a happy camper if you could link them
