Hey yall

I have a 2007 Sequoia and the AC is giving me trouble.

Condenser fan won't turn on while the vehicle is running. I have replaced the relays and still no change. I did plug the fan directly to the battery and it ran fine, but it won't turn on at any other time.

The front AC blows cold but the rear AC only blows lukewarm.

I checked to put more refrigerant in but it won't take anymore.

I'm not sure where to start with these 3 different things happening at the same time.

No I've not had it serviced. Would a faulty expansion valve explain why the condenser fan doesn't turn on? I was wondering if it could be the ambient temperature sensor or maybe the cooling fan temperature sensor.

I have, that's why this is so confusing to me. I have the 12v at the fuse block where the condenser fan relay goes. I have replaced the relay for the condenser fan, but still don't have 12v at the fan itself. That's what made me wonder if the AC pressure switch could somehow be keeping the condenser from getting the 12v it needs to turn on.

So you said it won't come on when the car is running, so does it ever come on?
Sorry I've got myself confused here, but the pressure switch can prevent a fan from coming on but I don't have the wiring diagram for a Sequoia.
The way I understand it the issue it may be the fan itself.

Without the auxiliary fan the heat in the system isn't being dissipated. Adding more refrigerant can cause more problems since the pressure is already high without the fan and additional refrigerant is making it higher.

Your problem is the fan which should run anytime the A/C is on and you're at low speeds or idling. At higher speed the system should blow cold air front and back because you have natural airflow through the condenser and the clutch fan at higher engine speed can pull the heat out the condenser. You should take it to a shop for a proper diagnosis and fix.
