On an s13 will the A/C light come on in the cabin when pressed if there is next to no refrigerant in the system?

The light only comes on when the compressor engages
if there is no refrigerant then the compressor will not engage

Did they refill it with R12 or did they do a R134 retrofit?

GuardianLlama · 08-14-2009, 08:30 PM

an r12 replacement called freeze12

I was looking into the freeze12...What are your impressions of it so far?
