If it leaked once it will leak again. pick up a can of Super Seal and some more refrigerant, follow the instructions CAREFULLY to avoid damaging the system. if it is still leaking after that, some components in your A/C system may need replaced. I would recommend getting at least one can of refrigerant with UV dye in it to put in after the super seal, it will make it easier to find the leak if the sealer doesn't fix it.

SOURCE: 99 STS AC is blowing hot air

I had the same problem but it was blowing hot air on the passenger side of the car. I assume you have the dual zone controls that I have as well. The problem is most likely the damper that controls the flow of hot and cold air into the car. The motorized component of the damper is most likely not working and its stuck in the hot air position.

I had mine replaced by a repair shop so I cant tell you how to replace it but it may be something that you can do if you have the time and patience to work on it.

Good luck

SOURCE: Have put freon in a/c and it is full and not

very easy, hook up your freon can,
disconnect your battery and let the car sit there for about
5 mins, hook the battery back up,
(try to have someone to help you with this part)
start the car and crank the ac all the way,
as soon as you do that have the other person or yourself if youre that quick start filling up with the freon.
that worked for me.

97 Plymouth Breeze won't blow cold air due to freon leak.

Your AC system is a closed system, so the fact you have to put more Freon in, means there is definitely a leak. I would check it out with a mechanic.

Why dose air blowing out dash hot when in cold a/c position

Hello, There are a number of reasons that may cause your A/C to blow hot air. The compressor belt could be loose or broken, the A/C system could be low on freon, the A/C compressor clutch could be defective or the fuse could be blown, or the A/C mixing door could be stuck open just to name a few.

Air conditioner blowing hot air on 2002 monte carlo and it has freon in it

car air conditioner blowing hot air is cause by either a leak or a clogged condenser, since it has a freon in it then it might be a case of clogged condenser but this is just a contributing factor, it is possible that the leak is small that you wont even notice that the freon is not enough for the a/c to blow cold air.

1995 j30 air conditioner just blows hot air. set to auto and no noise from compressor. happened all at once, working when car was shut off but not working when restarted. compressor going bad or a switch...

I would start with adding freon to system, from what you are stating freon is low. You may have a small leak, so use freon with leak seal, also use freon with gauge so you dont over fill and blow orings.
