Air condotin not working in 1993 Concorde

After charging the air conditioner in a 1993 Concorde, the air conditioner
works fine for about 2-3 days and then the freon seems to leak out. I put
red dye in the system however, I see nothing yet. Where should I look? Any
ideas? Thanks

 

It may be the evaporator - which is hidden in the dash. You could have
someone use an electronic sniffer in the vents, or, as suggested in the
past by MaxPower (Glenn), shine your UV light on the condensate drain -
if the evap. is leaking, the dye will have mixed with the condensate
water and show up in the drain.

use a sniffer forget the dye the sniffer is 100 percent better

 

Where can I get one? Are they readily available or do I have to take it to a
shop?
Thanks.

The best electronic leak detector at the best price you'll find.

 

I got this one: http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/tifxp1a.html

Most people would choose to take it to a shop rather than spend $150 on
a special tool like that - but if you need it more than once, it will
probably have paid for itself.
