Need AC Help

Here's my story:
The AC light wouldn't stay on - blinks then off. So, I got a can of sealer (had a can of 134). I put in the sealer then the 135 till the guage was in the 25-45 range. Now the AC light stays on and you can hear the compressor come on (and off if you hit the AC button again) but no cold air?

Anything else I can do before finding a repair shop?

Thanks

Try pulling the 27 fuse to reset AC, also you may need to clear codes on DIC -

I had the same problem. Sometimes the light would blink and then turn off. I did nothing and the more I used the ac the problem ceased to happen. Weird?

Let the shop know you put sealer in! It is the worst thing for AC Recovery machines.. Equipment is expensive so I am sure they will appreciate it..

I took the car in to a shop .... compressor shot ..
They want $1500 to replace the compressor, dryer & orifice tube.
I just ordered a new compressor, dryer & orifice tube for $249.

Any tips for replacement?
