Question
Ac compressor will not come on.Straight wire it,it will come on.1996 toyota rav 4.If a fuse or relay problem where is the location.What are your suggestions to fix the problem?
This is normally because the system is low on freon, a quick fix may be to get a recharge kit at one of the autoparts or target/walmart stores, follow the instructions on how to put the freon in, there may still be a leak in the system which may need professional attention later.
