ok now i know i have a leak somewhere because the first time i added a can of 134 it stayed cold for a few months now i added it again and it stayed cold for about 5 minutes. so i guess thats one problem. but also it blows cold air only out half the vents. the other half blow hot air what could that be? also the reverse sensing system stop working too. checked fuse 26 and it was good . any other troubleshooting steps i can do?

Let me guess the right vents blow colder then the left ones, you are low on 134.

Can't help with the rear sensor.
 






ive filled it up twice already i guess i need to find the leak then.
 






How much did you put in? It takes more then 1 can, mine takes 56oz or almost 5-12oz cans.
 






2x on how much did you put in, please say you didn't dump can after can in without checking the low & high pressure numbers using a manifold guage set. You can try to jumper the lower pressure switch to see if you get cold air.. Also another thing that could cause it is a dirty orifice tube. (sounds dirty doesn't it) :p:
