AC problems

My AC keeps going out. I can recharge it an it would last for a good while, now I can recharge it and the next day I have hot air again. The compressor cycles quite often when the guage indicates a full charge.

If it was empty you have to suck out all the air and water that might be in there,if you don't just the smallest amount of water could cause big trouble. This is what my friend that does it told me. Mine would last only one day after i fill it,put a can of dye in it(need a specal light ) to find the leak,or you can use a sniffer to find the leak.

it helps to have a frend that knows how to do it saved a lot of money

I've had my a/c worked on 4 times now in the last year. Started off with it being the Evaporator being clogged and not working. Then it was the mixing box, then it was some kind of valve that switches between the vents and floor and then yesterday it has a leak somewhere that they (dealer) couldn't find. When i dropped it off, he asked what was wrong with it, i told him "the compressor is cycling on and off like it is out of freon" so they check it and call me back and he tells me that "the problem is there is no freon in the system". He was gonna charge me to do a leak test and to recharge it. I told him, i am not paying for something that is potentially your fault. You guys have been the only ones to mess with the a/c since the first problem arose. I have only driven it 7500 miles since Aug. of last year when the first problem came up. You have to do something about it, not me. He said he'd go check on the status of it and came back and told me that his service manager said they'd take care of it. I was like, **** right, i ain't paying for it since i didn't break it.

Which brings up another problem, i think they didn't connect one of the tweeter wires back properly cause i don't get any sound out of the drivers side one. How easy is it to get to?? How does the pillar come out??
