A/C question!

The high side line on the A/C is cold to the touch and the low side line is not ie ambient
Seems to me it should be just the opposite.
Am I correct? If so, what would be causing this?
Thanks!!

Does the A/C work?

If it does, the low side is the one getting cold. It's the larger line, from the accumulator to the compressor. It (and the accumulator) should be at around 40-45°F in a properly operating system.

Thanks RB83! The A/C blows warm air. I put a can of R12 in and it lasted about 10 minutes meaning it was cold then within 10 minutes felt like the vent. Any ideas whats wrong?

Go to the Auto-Zone and pick up some A/C leak detector.
