Hey everyone,

First post here. Just bought an 06 XLT. A/C doesn't blow out cold air. I bought a gauge for the low pressure port and tested it today with the outside temp being about 75F. With Max A/C on, the gauge reads 10 PSI and slowly climbs to about 50 PSI and then shoots back down to 10 PSI and repeats. I added some r134a but nothing changed so I figured before I overfill it, I would ask on here to see who may know before having a shop look at it.

When it hits around 50 PSI I hear a click and then it shoots down to 10 PSI and starts to build back up. I assume the click is the compressor?

Thanks for any feedback in advance.
