Hello!

Total AC newbie here. My girlfriend just acquired a 2002 Dodge Durango and the AC is not working. As you can see in the video, the compressor clutch cycles on and off very quickly. When I filmed the video, both the front and rear vents were blowing warm air. Last night I was getting cooler air from the rear vents and the ac clutch was staying engaged. The front vents were still warm. I'm not sure if it was staying engaged because of the lower ambient temperature.

Please let me know if the video link works and what else I can try! This site came highly recommended from a friend on Facebook

Acting like there is a leak and low on refrigerant. Need some pressure readings to help determine what might be going on with the system. First step is to get some gauges on the vehicle.

Sounds like there's been refrigerant leakage to me as well. Have a real professional find and repair the leak; AC work requires service gauges, a vacuum pump, leak detection equipment, and real knowledge.
