    Confused 100 on the high side and 100 on the low side

    I connected the gauges and have a pressure reading of 100 on the high side and 100 on the low side. What is most likely to be the problem?

    Put an amp meter on the compressor if its running. This might shed some lite on the situation.

    It could be that the kanooter valve is not set to 90 degrees.
    It could also be the compressor isn't running.

    Maybe the halfafalf valve is low on blinker fluid.

    At least that's what the car repair guys tell my fiancé, and that usually fixes it.

    The flux capacitor for the compressor blew when the henway went bad.
