Will this light show leaks in auto air conditioning system?

Since I'm no expert in UV illumination, I haven't the slightest clue. If you are talking about propellents in an air-conditioning system, I believe there are much better methods of detecting leaks. But, again, I have no clue.

I really can't answer that because I had two Starry Night Units and both leaked so I returned them. Hope you have good luck.

This machine does work to test for leaks in an air brake system. I am not sure if it is compatible with air conditioning systems though. i would be worried about contaminating an a/c system myself, but if the system was completely flushed afterward.. it would most likely be ok.

You need to add dye to the system that is leaking. Then the black light will make the oil glow. The glasses help a little, but I mostly bought this kit for the light. I only use the glasses when the leak is hard to see withe just the light (usually not the case for me)

That depends on the leak, my experience is that if the sensor is clean, it will guide you to the leak, also I recommend the uv light and dye

It will probably tell you to look for a vacuum leak. There should be a hose on you brake booster that goes into the intake manifold. Black rubber hose. But, should give you all the basics of there is a check engine light on.

Yes. Do a "trouble code read test" to be sure that's the problem. If so, try a Mass Flow Air cleaner spray first. Good luck.

You would need a tech and make sure they take every connection apart and check them for leaks. The unit I got every seal was bad and needed to be fixed. It was a complete disaster.

I have a Ford E150 van but this should be compatible with all modern auto AC systems. You need to look online to find where yours is located on your vehicle. I added one can of the red leak-stop and 2 cans of coolant and my AC system still works fine.

as a auto tech I have used this many times it works well I usualy pull dip stick and shine dye light to see what color it is on dip stick then start looking for leak it may take more than 10 minutes if a slower leak

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

No, it does not show! You have to find (for yourself) a positive in the fuse box or elsewhere that lights on when you turn the key. The negative to the body. But after all this trouble it will stop working in the first sign of water or rain. MANY LEDS WILL STOP WORKING. IT'S JUST NOT WORTH THE PRICE NOR THE TROUBLE!!

We noticed the the blinking occurred when the A/C was on. Suspected that it had to do with the power draw somehow. Car was totaled shortly after we discovered the connection so we never got a chance to troubleshoot more on it.

I want to buy this, but am afraid of all the leaking in the lights comment..I was thinking maybe if it was sprayed with silicone spray? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Yes, although the gasket supplied is not that good and the light does not sit flush on the perimeter only gasketed around the electrical box. so I would purchase gasket material at the hardware store and improve on the water sealing.

Be sure the red light on the cooler plug (into car outlet or AC adapter socket) is lit. The cooler plug fits very loose into the AC adapter (poor design) so it's easy for a bad electrical connection to occur.

yes although the dealer will have to reset your light as that takes an scanner that can reset the TPMS system.
