Sentra A/C Broke

Q. My daughters 1998 Nissan Sentra A/C is not working. When I checked the pressure on the low side it was to high.

Thanks in advance for your response.

A. I was working in a Dealership one summer and it was a slow day. At around 3:00 pm I picked up a broom and started cleaning my area. A young kid pulled up to my garage door with his Sentra and came over to me. He wanted me to listen to his car for a minute. Well, it was hot and I was tired and the Bear was eating off of me all week and I was aggravated.

I put my broom down and walked out to his car with him. He opened the hood and his A/C compressor sounded like it was pumping marbles instead of freon. He asked me what I thought was wrong with it. I simply said "It sounds broke." He kinda looked at me and asked me if I could be more specific. I said "Well, I'm just the janitor here. But I'll see if I can borrow some tools and try and fix it for you.

He said no, that was okay and he went into the service office and I went back to my sweeping. About five minutes later the Service Manager came into the shop with the young gentleman, handed me a repair order and asked me to check the A/C compressor on his car. The young man looked at me and asked the Service Manager if there was someone else who could look at it. The Service Manager said I was the best man in the shop.

Oh well, we never saw him again.

What does this have to do with your question? Without some more information all I can say is "It's broke".
