Thanks for the suggestions. I did put a gauge on it that’s why I know it’s charged. Going to look again at previous threads to see if I can find anything that can help. I appreciate your thoughts and look forward to checking the forum on a regular basis.
Be well and thanks again

Just because them system is pressurized doesn't mean that it's properly charged. How long have you owned the car? Did it ever blow cold work that you know of?

If the car is new to you and it has never worked then I would start by draining the system and properly filling it (with a vacuum tool). Most people just refill the circuit with the cans from the parts warehouse and don't bother to completely evacuate the circuit first, which creates a pressurized but nonfunctional system.

If the system was working properly and has just suddenly quit, I would look at the compressor wiring. Chances are that it's not switching on - possibly a blown fuse or chewed up wiring.

From previous owner on untill my ownership now about 2-years, my car AC has not been working.
This is a hobby / track car with my son, so we have slowly inspected the relays, condensers, compressor and also troubleshooted with Durametric - all seemed fine.

Couple of weeks ago I tested very briefly from the AC fill valve if there is any pressure in the system and it gave a good sign of pressure (did not measure it).

Last week I had my 2001 Boxster AC drier can + O-rings changed and also the system re-charged.
The AC system took in 800g of refrigerant while the system capacity is 850g...
As soon as the systm was refilled properly at the shop, it has been working very nice almost a week now and blows ice cold air :dance:
