    Guys I purchased a 2014 Prius that was in a mild front end collision. The skinny line connector from condenser was ripped apart. I replaced the condenser. Both the skinny and thicker lines to the condenser fit well on the new condenser so that's done.

    What are my steps to get the ac system going?

    Vaccum the system?
    Do I add some oil in the system? If so, what kind?
    Once done, add freon?

    Also this problem may be related, but I turned the climate control on, and no response whatsoever. No heat, no fan. Any clues to where I should start looking?
