Great tip... That was the issue with my fan!!
Connector was melty and the connections were lose, even the resistor was melted up inside the connector housing causing the one prongs to be really loose inside the resistor.
I had a spare resistor pack sitting in the garage (thank god for my pile of useless parts. I did a bit of gloating 'told you I should keep the garage full of parts!!!') and then replaced it. First of all, those stupid tiny torx bolts went right out the window and replaced with a normal easier to work with Phillips. Anyway
All that back in and replaced, and now my fan works. Okay so maybe we're making some progress with the HVAC system. it's like shooting fish in a barrel
Pulled up my gauges, and we get 10 on the low side, 120 on the high side. Yeesh, I just charged this thing 2 months ago. There's gotta be a leak somewhere.
So, I look at the expansion valve and there's that dreaded kinda yellowy film oil residue on it. I wiped it down and checked the bolt. Wasn't tight as i'd expect, well I tightened it a bit. Probably will not help anything but maybe it's just leaking under high PSI. System at around 70PSI when not running. Without a condenser fan I imagine my head pressures were higher than expected, maybe the thing only starts leaking at like 350PSI? who knows.
Have abit of a hiss sound near the evap, could be the evap core leaking but that could also just because of the low pressure, the expansion valve can get real noisy when they're low.
Pulled out my trusty can tap and... it's busted. dig around the basement, I just had a 1/2in can tap for residential. Though I keep commending them, I am not a big fan of amazon, and truly I wish the local car stores didn't stink, because last time I went into autozone a tap and die (A SINGLE TAP AND DIE) was like 40 bucks. Don't even wanna know what they charge for a can tap.
So I got a set of two new can taps on order tomorrow at 10AM for ~11.99. ... will report back and hopefully no leak, otherwise I gotta get out the x-ray specs and start looking for UV leak dye.
