Well swich on top of accumulator seems to mhave solved the problem. Swithc cost $30 and took all of 5 minutes to replace. DO NOT PAY ADEALER TO DO THIS, they'll stick it to you.
Used the existing 'O' Ring, which by the way stays on the accumulator and does not usually get damaged unelss you severely overtighten the switch on top of the accumulator.
Thanks again all.

You notice this seems to happen to the 06 PT Touring.

My switch is on order, from AutoZone, and should be here tomorrow. $35

I replaced the switch and it took less than 2 minutes! AC works fine now. Thank you all for your good advice!
