[s-cars] is my AC dead?

Yeah... it could be too cold.  However, I did have mine pop on the other day... to my amazement, as my gauge was reading 12!
 
Maybe try it in your garage after it has been in there overnight.
Take care,
Dave

Usually whne i do the Auto, my AC would come on and i was just curiou why it did not. Maybe Bob was right. we'll see when it starts to warm up in the next few days.
