Well, I've waited long enough, it's time to get the a/c fixed. I wish there was a way I could do this job myself. I have the know how but It will cost me about $800 for a new compressor and a few other hook ups.

 

When I replaced the A/C, I did it all myself except charging the system. Get the parts at AutoZone or RockAuto.com. Installation is easy, then take it to a shop and have them vacuum the air out and recharge the system.

 

this makes 2 of us.. the guy who sold me the car said the AC worked.. just 2 days ago i was looking at it, and noticed my A/C compressor was not kicking in...

800 bucks.. damn.. i like my 2/80 A/C, way cheaper

 

For around $1500 I got a 3 yr./36k mi. ZERO Deductible Gold Coverage Extended Warranty -- you should just do the same, and get it fixed under it!
Ends up being like $1.37/day
