AC stopped working. Discovered that the Compressor Flow Sensor was not working correctly. Dealer wanted to install a whole new compressor. Purchased Flow Sensor on Amazon and replaced it. It was quite a difficult job to replace it. Had to remove the radiator to get access to the part. The part was frozen in the AC, so it was a tough job. No wonder the dealer just wanted to replace the whole compressor! While repairing the AC system, the radiator had to be removed. The coolant had been slowly going down and when the radiator was removed, it was discovered that the bottom of the radiator was leaking. Replaced the radiator and also the hoses as preventative maintenance.
