Well after replacing a dryer and compressor, I went to a shop to have my system evacuated and charged. The system appeared to work but I had to keep the car on constant "LO" to get any results. The pressure on the climate control was running 5-9. On the way to work, I turned the system on and the pressure shot up to 25 and then down to 14 and cooling stopped. Well now the car is not cooling, I have checked for leaks, none that I can see, the compressor is still running, here are my results from my climate control, first one standing still the other with the car in operation. There was a fault code of 1232, for the pressure switch, I reset which has not come back on. Is all this a result of the pressure switch? I have tapped on top of the duo s but that has not helped. Thanks for any inputs!

Was the compressor part for your vehicle and was it new and or rebuilt vs one taken off your ex wifes car and assumed that it will work fine?

Rebuilt Denso from Company with very good track record. Are you thinking the compressor is not building the proper pressure?

5-9 bars pressure on working compressor is low.
Take the car back to the shop.
