Where can you get FREEZE12? I want to know what's wrong with my A/C, but I have no clue where to start! My A/C compressor doesn't even come on, but I'm not getting the A/C blinking light.

You should charge the system through the low pressure port, located on top of the compressor. My '93 SC4's port was covered with a protective black plastic cap.

DO NOT try to charge any system through the high-side port.

if your system is low on freon it won't start the compressor.
if you're running a R12 system you can try using freeze 12. you can shoot some in and see if you can find a leak. if you need to repair a major component you might want to consider going to R134a.
