I'm not sure that its low, 30-35psi seems to be the correct pressure.

It will not take any refrigerant, the compressor kicks on as it should and does not cut off due to low pressure.

The hood is aluminum I believe so you wont have much luck there!

Nevermind, removed the actuator and turned the mix door, still no cold a/c. Last week the drivers side stopped being cold, pressure is 35 on the low side. Now no a/c on either side, pressure still 35 on the low side. I guess I need to get some better gauges and check again!

The blend door actuator seems to have gone out on the trusty Pontiac.

Is there any way to temporarily bypass is until I can make it to the salvage yard for a new one?

Then finally right before the windows quit, the back windows ...

I picked a 2000 SSEi up for my fiancé to drive but it turns out I like it better than my G6 so I'm taking it over!

Recently all but the drivers windows and locks quit working. It also has been saying check gas cap on the d.I.c. and service anti theft system. I'm going to pull the codes tomorrow but ...

Just stopping in to say hey!

I have a few kinks to work out on our SSEi and hopefully this is the place to come!
