You have no reason to believe the compressor is bad yet. The first thing you need to do is to make sure it has the proper amount of refrigerant in the system by having it completely recovered and recharged with the exact weighed charge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Virtually ALL of these leaked at evaporators easily still a common issue with what's left of Chrysler designs. Snow ball problem if ignored. Low charge due to leak, cycling compressor then lack of lube to it the system will be a problem or if it's been recklessly boosted up frequently too late for a lasting fix without a real investment in having dependable A/C in these, T
