I would replace the AC compressor cycling switch it may be sticking have seen it a number of times. The switch is located in the receiver dryer on the passenger side of the engine compartment. See picture below.

If this isn't the problem the AC compressor relay may also cause this, flip a coin.

SOURCE: my ac stops blowing cold when i move from a stop

It is a door or flap that is closing, in fact it is the blend door located inside the environmental station, remove the lower console cover, small black cover at the center bottom of dash touches the floor, look for a white square box with an electrical connector, take out the 3 screws that hold the white box (stepping motor) in, use an inspection mirror and look at the door drive end (part that the stepping motor inserts into) this is the blend door drive, it is probably broken, the door is availiable at most Ford dealers for around 55 dollars, tp replace it, you will have to remove the whole dash complete with the instrument cluster, radio, enviro controls, etc. then you can remove the top of the enviro station, and replace the door, hope this helps, let me know....I just had to do mine.

SOURCE: AC blowing warm air

When they refilled the refrigerant did they put die in it to check for leaks, it sounds like there may be a leak.

Why does Ac blow warm air when I stop in Toyota sequoia?

The most likely culprit is the condenser fan not working. While driving, air is forced through the condenser fins cooling the condenser and all is fine, but when stopped and the fan is not blowing and you notice the air get warm.

Air Conditioner stops blowing cold air when vehicle is not moving

plus one on the cooling fan problem. if it was low on charge then as you slow down, condensor temps and line prressures would raise therefore it would cool at low speed and and not when moving since the incoming air would drop system temp,reducing line pressure and then cusing compressor to cycle. the auxillary cooling fans must be on whenever a/c is on, if not, thats your problem. get this taken care of because if you get stuck in traffic, your engine will overheat also if fans are not running

Airconditioner suddenly stopped blowing cold air while I was driving--blows warm air now

you can get a recharge kit at Auto Zone, the car has to be runnung to fill it. . This is the first thing I would do, to see if it's out of freeon first.

Ask the Auto zone man to come out side and help you refill it. They will help if you ask.
