AC failed. Dealer said $900 to replace compressor. Bought new parts online and installed. Put in oil and recharged freon. Only hot air, both front and rear. Checked fuses, all ok. Replaced them with extras, still only hot air. Touching accumulator, it's HOT, not cold. Any ideas?

No I didn't. My chilton's didn't say anything about that. I'll check into it. The other ideas I had were a condensor problem, or electrical. I'll check the vacuum issue and see... thanks.
You're right. That's why we bought the new parts kit online and did the replacement ourselves for $350. Problem is, it still doesn't work. Of course, if the dealer would have done it, they could have come back (after $900 of work) and said I need a new condensor, $1500, or something else.
