A/C blowing warm air

**3thrd_a_4** · 06-07-2008 10:33 AM

97 degrees here today and my AC is blowing warm air. The compressor and fans both are operational. Where else should I check for trouble? Should I just refill the refrigerant and check for leaks? Can a faulty coolant temp sensor affect the AC ? My coolant gauge has behaved erratically once before when I was low on coolant because of a small leak. It went back to normal after the coolant was refilled though. TIA

It usually blows warm air in the beginning when you turn on the AC. make sure the economy button is off.
if it keeps blowing hot air, go recharge the system

econ was off.............I just recharged and it's ice cold. Hopefully there aren't any leaks

what did you use to recharge your ac? is it recharged the same way as other cars?

R134 in the low pressure side of the system. the nozzle is on the left side of the battery with a black cap that twists off

You can't even mess this up if you tried, the recharge QD will not fit on the other nipple (for bleeding), its a larger diameter. You can just buy a kit at any auto store and it will work, just dont overcharge the system.
