Thanks for the quick reply Sam and Tyler.
Sam - I thought about running a generator, what are the benefits of a generator VS the electrical route? I believe the gas line from the tank to the generator is still there, just capped off at the moment.
I have considered talking to a mechanic, any quotes I've received "because of the old style refrigerant / system" have been upwards of $350 to diagnose, and an estimated $300 to refill the system plus labor charges, assuming everything works properly.
Tyler - Thats a good question. I could replace it but i'm trying to avoid that because of the high costs the refrigerant. Is there anyway to bench test a compressor that you know of? I tried to jump the pressure sensor momentarily to see if it would kick on, I got nothing.
