help, AC problems

[Jerizzle]

my ac is not kicking in, you can normally feel it when you hit the ac button when the clutch engages, but it doesnt engage, is there a sensor that detects low freon(?) to keep it from coming on. Is there a relay that could be bad.
Also what type of coolant goes into 93 lx, R-12? i can't afford a retro fit right now. thanks for any ideas.

If the freon is low the compressor will not work. A 93 will have r12 if it wasn't retro-fitted.

thank you!!! that's what i wanted to hear, at least i won't have to replace the compresser, but is r-12 still around or is retro-fitting a requirement now? thanks again.....

Yes, but you're going to pay dearly. You may as well get the R143a retrofit kit and save money over recharging with R12.
