I've done a bit of work to my ac recently but am still running into some issues. Mainly it's cool not cold.
Here's the rundown.
New Denso Compressor
Belt to spec
Fresh R12 Charge 51oz, pulled vacuum, no leaks. a bunch of fresh o-rings.
New Drier.
New Fan for lower condenser (from a tw van)
Issue is that at best I am getting about 62deg coming out of my vents. This is a dual ac unit. The Fan is coming on for the front condenser however, the fan is not coming on for the lower rear condenser. Also, that condenser is not in good condition. the fins are smashy smashy and need help.
Question 1 - should the fan for the lower condenser come on with only the front turned on or does the rear need to be engaged as well? It doesn't turn on in either scenario for me.
Question 2 - how do I go about straightening out the fins in the lower condenser? I would have replaced the condenser but all the couplers were frozen. To the point that they likely would have sheared any of the lines if I pushed it.
