Re-reading, maybe that added freon? and THAT was the issue?
(When you use a commercial AC service system, they pump the system down, removing the freon, then you do a vacuum hold test...then REFILL (with the freon they just removed). This is the part I may have missed.....

Sorry, yes.
Took it back to the shop that recharged it back in 2018.
They used UV light and inspected for the UV dye that was added back then, but could not find any evidence.
Hooked it up to machine, pulled vacuum and it passed the test (I think legally they can't recharge if it fails this test).
So they refilled and AC is functioning again.
$140 for the refill vs $3500 from bad shop that proposed bad clutch/compressor.
So yes I jumped the gun and conflated issues with K-CAN and AC. Just a coincidence they showed up about the same time. Just low on freon.
