SOURCE: the ac blows air but its not cold.

There are many common issues with the ac there is a thermostatic switch (thermistor) that goes bad it keeps the evaporator from freezing up and will interrupt compressor relay power. there is another common probwith the triple switch located on the reciever dryer. there are other problems but them are common there is also a tsb about charge capacity.

SOURCE: hi, my husband and i have a 2006 optima. te ac

yes its safe to replace replace the lines when you get the replacementlines make sure you get new O rongs but once u replace them you have to have your lines vaccumed for 10 min te see if it holds pressure if it dont then u still have a leek if it holds pressure then you can put your freon in it make shure you dont over charge because it will blow your pump

SOURCE: My a/c is not blowing cold air.

The compressor probably isn't kicking on beacuse it is low on freon. It won't take freon when you try because the compressor needs to be running to draw it in. Sounds like a catch 22 doesn't it? There is a low pressure switch either in the filter/drier, or on the low pressure line. If you unplug the switch and hook a jumper between the two pins, the compressor should kick on, allowing you to add freon. Hope this helps...

SOURCE: 2004 kia spectra no a/c

needs looking at because it could be switch that allows it to turn on if sufficient gas is present ,or a problem with the clima compùter ,but to do anything you will need the special machine to empty the system then check things out so take to an authorised AC garage ,because these systems are a potential accident and you could lose a finger with frostbite in a matter of less than 2 seconds .therefore i will not tell you how to look for a soloution because of the dangerous nature of playing with air con

Air conditioning blows hot one side and cool on other

Had a similar problem. It was in a 2001 Bonneville (GM product also) and it did NOT have dual climate control. Believe it or not, it just needed the freon topped off. Apparently, some evaporation coil designs allow the freon to evaporate too quickly on one side if the freon pressure us low. Then the other side of the coil is warm and that side of the car blows warm. Try adding some. It won't hurt as long as it is not overpressurized. And that won't happen with the cans you buy at the store.

What is the high pressure reading for charging freon for the air condition?

For charging purposes, you really should be monitoring the low side pressure. Depending on ambient air temperature, the low side should be between 30 and 50 lbs PSI. The high side can be between 135 and 330 lbs PSI.

My air condition is not blowing cold air

best diagnostic method is dual head gauges. balanced pressure between low and high side in the off position is aroung 90 lbs. running low pressure is 20-40 lbs and high pressure 160-200, is the compressior not coming on? does it stay on, or click on and off. either might mean the freon level is low. try unplugging the low pressure switch on the low side supply line and shorting the pigtail wires together with a paper clip. does the compressor stay on now? if so and the air is warm or cool, freon is low. if the air is cold that switch is bad. if compressor still won't come on the list of possibilities grows longer: compressor, comp fan clutch, AC relay, restriction at several places... repair shop time...

I have a 95 honda passport that is blowing warm air, do i just charge it? or are there fuses or relays to check first?

If it has lost it's freon, it won't tell you anything about the condition of the compressor, but the compressor clutch is what goes first. With no oil, it won't come on, so, go to walmart, ( this is the cheap fix), get one of those 18 oz bottles with the oil, freon and sealer in there, hook it up to the low pressure side, give it a shot to 35 lbs, try it and see how it goes. The radiator shop will want $600 just to look. So for $19, you have nothing to lose. Check it out.

2005 Altima 3.5 air conditioning blows warm air at temperature over 85 degrees.

All three of the above answers are incorrect. There is no need for freon to be introduced into the system, if the system is fully charged. If you do this, and follow the above advice, you will damage your AC compressor. What you need to do is get the vehicle hooked up to a set of refrigerent gauges at a local competent service center, and the pressures will tell your competant mechanic what to do next. NEVER 'add freon' if you are not 100% sure that the system is low.

Air conditioning failure above 85 degrees.

Initially I would suggest a Loss of FREON from the system, but there are also several reasons for the A/c to quit. Freon loss,[Leaking seal, Comp. front shaft seal, Split hose, Holed Condenser, Compressor Realay/Fuse failure, Thermo couple switch].
An easy out, is to Purchase 1 can of Freon with added Lubricant and 1 Can of Pure freon.
Inject the 1 Can with Lube into the High Pressure Side Adaptor Port. Look and Listen for Leaks. Start up, with Blowers on FULL speed, A/c Control on Max. A/c, and Heater Coolant Control on Cold[Blue]
Speed up the Engine to about 1500 RPM. Look to see if the Compressor Clutch on the Front is Engaged and Rotating, if it does wait about 30 seconds, and the Condenser Fan should Engage, continue to run the engine and check the Interior of the Vehicle for a change in AIR flow temperature. If it is cool, but not cooler. Stop the engine, and give about 2-3 minutes before adding more Freon from can 2.
If none of this happens to make it work, then I suggest you go to a Reputable A/c Repairer and ask for a CHECK & ADVISE ONLY,on your vehicle, so as to get an ESTIMATE, for repair of what is apparently defective in the system.
Regards,DT

Air condition blows hot air but it has freon

You may have created an over charged condition and at this point the a/c compressor will cut off on high head pressures. This can be verified by installing gauges to the systems high and low side service taps and reading the pressures.An overcharged system will start the compressor briefly but soon cuts off once pressure goes to 350 - 400 lbs on the high side. Acceptable pressures for this system should be no greater than 250 high and low suction should drop to 40-50 psi.You might recover the charge and evacuate the system,then try bringing the charge back to proper level.A sight glass in the reciever drier really helps determining proper fill.Once all bubbles have dissipated from the sight glass during charging ,one should stop at that point to avoid overfilling.Too much freon is worse than a low charge especially in hot ambient conditions....

AC is not working

Sounds like the A/C system just needs to be recharged. When was the last time you had this done? Just take it in to your mechanic and he can do it for you and if that's not it for some reason, then he will be able to find the problem but most likely you need more freon added.
