On Tuesday, while on the start of a road trip, got a message of "Check Air Conditioner" that came on the nav screen. Went to the climate and saw the A/C light blinking. Was cool out, so shut everything down and went with fresh air.
Wednesday comes, replace the relay to see if that was the issue and it was not the problem. Took it to a shop that I have had work on the Cruiser before. Verdict : O ring was done and all coolant had leaked out of the system which caused the clutch and compressor to fail and lock up. Cost to replace compressor, clutch, o rings, fill system with coolant : parts and labor $998.
Any opinions on if this is a good, decent, or bad deal would be appreciated.
(FYI, this is for a 2003 LC with 165K and there has been no other issue ever with the a/c on)
