The A/C on the El Camino has been working fine. Oh, it cycles more than I think is normal, but it would get you good and cold.
On the way to the animal shelter this morning (where I volunteer on Mondays), I heard a funny sound like an impolite 3rd grader. Pppppppppht. Then the A/C quit cooling.
Here's the funny part. The compressor is continuing to cycle. The refrigerant is flowing. I checked on the pressures, and it seems to be OK. But!!!! The bottom line on the evaporator, which is the high-pressure line, is now cold after the connection right by the receiver/dryer. It's hot to that point. And the upper hose and receiver/dryer are now warm, instead of cold and sweaty.
Any clues?
