Did you vacuum the system?

Did you replace the accumulator?

If not, replace the accumulator, then have the system vacuumed...then you can recharge it. To recharge it, I would suggest taking it to someone, should run about 120 bux to vacuum and charge it. But if you want to do it at home, you can buy a vacuum (prolly on eBay would be best) for about 30-40 dollars, and a gauged can of refrigerant (if R134A) for another 20-25 bucks. Follow the directions that come with each component to a "T" or you rish blowing the lines...and if you are near them, that is a trip to the E.R.

How do you recharge the ac on a 1999 Buick Century?

Buy a recharge kit and a # 134 refrigerant; follow directions. If the system is low, the compressor will not start so you will need to remove the connector on the pressure switch which is located on the dryer. The dryer is the silver cylinder on the passenger side. There are two metal prongs that you can jump across with a wire or pliers while your recharge kit is hooked up and soon the system will take a charge ;then you can plug in the low pressure switch and the system will work again.

How to recharge ac on 1994 Buick Century?

You should not attempt to recharge the ac system unless you are qualified to do so. There are a lot of things that can go wrong. Take it to a dealer or repair shop and have them test the system, as there may be a leak. If that's the case, recharging it would only cost you money.
