 1.Figuring out the Core Issue

           In order to solve the problem, you need to first find out what the root cause is that  needs to be repaired. You can start the vehicle and turn on the ac. See if the cooling fans on the radiator are running. If they are not then maybe there is an electric issue. 

      2.Check if the ac compressor is running

            Figure out whether the air conditioner is blowing out cool air or hot. If it is hot hen   the compressor is most certainly not running. If it is cold then check the degree of coldness which will determine for any leaks

            3.Check the wiring which leads to the compressor
