The AC only seems to work when I press the break. i have read that a possible blown fuse #7 might be the case but I have replaced it so I know that is not it.

If I understand correctly the ac don't work at all unless you are stepping on the brake pedal? Any other issues with the ac or strange stuff? What have you done so far besides replacing fuse 7? Get back to me and I will go through things and see what I can find ok.

There is nothing else. When I coast or press the gas the A/C stats to get warm like as if it was only using the fan (Not warm like a heater). But when I hit the brake the A/C begins to get cool again. This all started after we refilled the A/C with A/C Pro. Before there was no A/C because it was empty so I refilled it then this happened. I have tried looking for maybe a shorted wire around the transmission but nothing has been found.

Just found out when I disconnect the brake lights from under the brake that the AC works normally.

There could be a short in the brake light switch so I would remove and ohm it let me know what you find ok and we go from there. Fuse 7 is used for power to both so could be some feedback.
