I have a 95 gt and my problem with it now is that the air conditioner doesnt work. Now i kno theres an easy way to find out whats wrong with it but i want a bit more info on this. 2 weeks ago I had a brand new radiator put in and 4 weeks ago my air worked????? Can the radiator cause any problems with my a/c if something wasnt installed right????
thx

Your A/C is a sealed system. There are no A/C lines feeding into or out of the cooling system. If it just stopped working after you installed the radiator, odds are you have cracked or punctured part of your A/C system. Only way to find it is to go get some leak tester or some R-134A with tester in it. It's just neon-bright fluid that's easily spotted if you have a leak somewhere, which you most likely do. As for fixing it, not a clue, best go to your mechanic for that.

check the switch going into the rfd on the passenger firewall....take a paperclip and jump the switch...i believe the wires are white/black and purple/black....this is the pressure safety switch....mine went bad a few wks ago and thats how i figured it out....16.00 at advance auto parts

do anything else lately? install equal length headers?

my ac didn't work when i got my car. turns out the guy before me installed equal length headers and he didn't provide enough clearance with the ac line that runs close to the headers. so the ac line melted. no wonder it didn't work.
