Had a lot of smoke/vapor coming from the passenger side. Pulled over and turned off the car. Lots of hissing/smoke for a while after shutting off engine, coming from under the passenger headlight. No CELs. AC no longer blows cold.
Pulled off the rad support, the only thing out of place is this connector that was unplugged.
Don’t see any cracked lines. Anything else I should be looking for? I’m guessing first step would be a pressure test?
Edit for anyone searching: The unplugged connector attaches to the high pressure switch. It got blown off when the switch failed. I replaced the switch and receiver drier. Spoke to an auto AC shop, they said the oil should mostly be retained in the system still, and advised to only add 1 ounce or so.
