Not to hijack this thread, but I've replaced the entire pump assembly on my 04 and I still get the erratic levels (sometimes full, empty, half full, quarter full etc) it also looks like the needle in the cluster struggles to move. And it also does not go the entire length of the dial (from empty to ...

From the information I am understanding, I am concerned you don't have the knowledge and understanding necessary to be safely working with the A/C, and think it should be taken care of by someone who does.

However, I will share the following information.

Any time the A/C system is cracked open ...

What pressures were you seeing in the A/C Before and after you charged it, on the high and low side. And also, was the compressor running before the refrigerant went in, or did it start only after the can went in?

I don't have a full A/C Pressure gauge, just the ones that come with the can you ...

I also had to change the AC orifice in the line, does that mean I have to have the system professionally vacuumed and recharged? Trying the recharge canisters hasn't helped my situation after changing the orifice.

I went to swap one in and the relay just floats around in the slots. So there isn't an HVAC solenoid relay there. And for reference that relay slot is actually #33.

I also noticed yesterday that in the engine bay fuse box, there's a spot for a HVAC relay (#39 I believe) and it has no relay in it, would that cause the issue I'm seeing?

Are cooling fans winding up behind the radiator - sometimes, but not always when I turn the AC on.

Are both lines going to the evaporator cold? - I don't believe so.

I'm having an issue with my 04's SE's A/C. Here's what I've checked/ran through so far:

-Condenser is clean and clear
-When having A/C on at full blast, the compressor kicks on as it should but blows hot/outside temp air.
-Cabin Air Filter is brand new and clean
-System is charged to the right ...
