I'd probably check the blend door under the dash for proper operation. Sorry, I don't have any pictures. Also, if the blend door is vacuum operated, check the vacuum. I did check hvac wiring diagram, didn't show any actuators, so, I believe vacuum operated. I'd have to look at it, to diagnose further, sorry I don't have better info. Make sure it is full of refrigerant and compressor clutch in engaging.

No you need to take to a garage to get this resolved...

I'd have to check turn fuse, then turn/hazard flasher, then multifunction switch.

Hi, If you check the brake switch first, pull connecter off and see if you have 12 volts on one side of the plug. if you have power use a small cotter pin and jump the connector the brake light should come on with the 3rd brake light also. If that doesn't work more than likely its your turn signal switch that is the culprit.

Try spraying some starting fluid or carburetor cleaner into the engine an see if it will keep running ! Have you tried holding the throttle open a little or are you just letting it idle ? Any lights lit on dash , check engine ?

Fuel pump is bad or related parts. Pressure is variable. It can b testd. But if its nevr bin changd..may b du. Startr fluid is for weak spark or compression

I would get a leak test to see where its leaking. Hopefully just a hose.

Did you replace the schrader valves (the thing in the inside of the A/C service fittings, you need a special tool to remove and install them) before you recharged the system? They are notorious for leaking if they are old.

If you did not, replace those and try again, if it leaks out again with no evidence you most likely have a bad evap core.

And yes, it's a pain in the ****, plan on it taking a 30 pack of bud light and a weekend to do, or one day and a 12 pack if you are good. Just start taking the dash apart, and may the force be with you. It will be behind the glove box

There is a spring in the steering column. Held with plastic. The plastic breaks. causing to sound off. When the fuse blows it is high resistance . Fixing it is costly and time consuming. Live without it if you can.

I've attached photo's to aid in locating your fuse Hope this helps you

early blower resistor were on a block inside the blower housing where the air flow could keep them cool

because it needs charging there is a leak in the system Don't waste your money filling a leaking system Have an accredited ac specialist shop fin/fix the leak and recharge the correct amount.

Should be like this;

Feel of heater hoses to see if both are getting hot. If yes, bleand air door not working due to vacuum leak or bad actuator. If no, back flush or replace heater core.

Not symptoms of a pump. Sounds more like a bad idle air control valve. run some fuel system cleaned in it and run a full tank of gas to see if it changes.
