SOURCE: I have a 2000 cadillac deville

You can rent a cooling system preasure tester at a parts store. These engines run so close to boiling that they must be able to hold presure or they overheat. Presurize the system and check for even the smallest leaks at all hose connections. I fought this problem for a long time before I figured it out.

SOURCE: need to replace turn signal switch 93 cadillac deville

First do you have a sterring wheel puller. Can't remove the steering wheel without one. Quite an involved job including snaking the electrical connector end through the steering column. I wouldn't recommend it to the novice

SOURCE: 1996 cadillac deville compressor stopped,

Sometimes, you have to start the vehicle, turn on the AC (Hi setting), and jump across (bypass) the low side pressure switch - to allow the compressor to start running and draw the freon in through the low side - make sure your fittings are correct and otherwise - Did you pull a vacuum on the system before you attempted to add refrigerant? I would highly recommend it - removes air and moisture....

you can locate the low limit switch and unplug it and use a wire to jump the terminals in the socket..that will start the compressor, car running of course, then add proper amt freon and plug switch back in
The switch should be on an ac line and have 2 wires

I HAVE A 1998 CADILLAC DEVILLE THE A/C/ WENT OFF AND THE COMPRESSOR WENT OFF HOW DO I RESET BOTH..

OK, if the A/C system has been discharged of R134a for any length of time, the car may have to be reset by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting after a few minutes.

That's the way my 1990 Cadillac Deville is, as it's a safety measure for preventing low freon level operation of the compressor which can damage the compressor.

My 1997 Cadillac Deville Limo hasn't had any leakage issues, so I don't know if this would work on that late of a Cadillac.

After adding r134a to the low side, and if the compressor doesn't work, then this could very well be your problem.

Good luck on this repair.

When putting freon in with car running freon does not go in

Your ac is controlled by the computer and once it recognizes that you are low on freon it shuts the compressor down.. You will first have to start putting a can of freon into the system without the car running . With your gauges still hooked up disconnect the the battery and reconnect it after ten seconds or more. This will reset your computer. Start your car and then turn on the ac. The compressor should come on and you should be able to continue charging your ac.

1999 cadillac deville a/c off low refrig error

I had the same problem. The mechanic could not get the compressor to take in new freon. It has to do with the car's memory. You have to reset it by disconnecting the hot wire from the battery which for thirty seconds. This resets the cars internal memory, so it won't remember that it's out of freon. Reconnect it turn on the car and turn on the air the compressor will start.

1995 Cadillac Deville

In my 1990 Cadillac Deville there is a sticker that says that one can reset the computer that controls the compressor by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnecting.

Did you disconnect the battery to reset the a/c system?

The symptoms you are describing lead me to believe that there is a safety feature that prevents the compressor from engaging when the compressor has been run for any length of time without at least .5 lbs. of freon in the system.

You said that you had to run a hot wire to charge it up with freon. But, if you ran it without freon, it may have automatically invoked the 'safety' feature.

I have seen this happen on my 1990 cadillac. I haven't had any problems on my 1997 Cadillac Limousine, because I never had a low charge on that car.
