 Subject: AC keeps losing its charge
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 97 V6 Dakota. The AC continually loses its charge and I have not found a leak yet. The last two times the AC has lasted less than a week, but I have had three different shops look for a leak and none have been found.
Any Suggestions???

ss_dakota,
I had this same problem. It ended up being a very slow leak at the Schrader (spelling?) valve(s). I am not exactly sure where the valves are located, but the symptoms you describe are exactly what I went through on my '99.

You an take it into a shop and have them go over it with a freon sniffer. This is a device which can sense even very small amounts of leaking freon. Hope this helps

I just had my AC checked and they put some tracer dye in the system, it was the gaskets on the top of the compressor you might check there and look into having them put dye in the AC.

Sorry about the mix-up on the names. Don't worry about it or about changing your name. I am a light user and am more than happy to use a different name when I am on this board.
Thanks
