AC Compressor Cycling

I am wondering if there is a problem with the LO side connection; this may be why you cant charge and the gauge is reading almost 0.
He was getting readings in the first video he posted unless the schrader valve is messed up now
 
Alright I tried messing with it again, I think when I first checked the can there might have been some excess air in the hose which I thought was refrigerant coming out so I thought it was good. I see it coming through the sight glass now and my compressor is staying on longer before kicking off

Good your on the right track watch your blue gauge until you hit around 40psi and you're good

I’m at around 32 with my compressor staying on, but my high side is at 210. The chart that came with it said 35-45 and 157-170 for my temperature so should I keep adding more?
 
That chart is not vehicle specific.

It looks like it is 75F ambient where you're at in CT. You need to be in the 32-41psi range low side & 200-260psi hi side so you're readings are good

I'd shoot for about 36psi low side

Great, thank you guys so much for all your help

My ac is now reading at about 47 degrees, much better than the 75 degrees when I started

Now I just have to figure out why it won’t come out the front vents, pretty sure it’s a blend door issue from what I’ve seen

Remember the system pressures will drop once the vehicle is driven and air is pushed thru the condenser which will remove the heat of compression... The A/C air temperature coming from the ventilation will also drop several degrees.
 
Why do you believe the problem is with the blend door ?
Not saying it isn't... but it could be a vacuum leak or console mode selector problem.
I briefly skimmed a thread that sounded like a similar issue and they said it was a blend door problem, but I haven’t looked at it much yet. Basically whichever mode i put it on, it only comes out on the feet, defrost vent, and the tiny vents above the face vents on the side

There are several sources for vacuum leaks that are common....
Does your Jeep have cruise control and does it work ?
 
No, I don’t have cruise control
The vacuum line going thru the fire wall near the A/C drier that feeds the A/C console also T's off and goes to a rectangular vacuum storage container beneath the fender panel.
Look for leaks in the poly lines and the connection at the storage container.

The end is torn and slid off really easily at that connection, that look like the culprit?
