The fan is running and it is blowing air through the vents but its hot air. This happened overnight so I'm thinking it's not needing freon ???

The question would be, is your outside condensing unit working, fan and compressor? If not, you might have a capacitor out or a burnt motor/compressor. If everything on the outside unit is working properly, then you might have a refrigerant problem, and it can seem like it happens over-night sometimes. The charge just slowly decreases and eventually it will not condense or evaporate the way it needs to. Just some things to consider, hope it helps!

N my 2005 tahoe the drivers side vent blows hot sometimes and all the other vents are still blowing cold. i think it may be a temp. door not opening properly. what do you think also i need a venting...

It could be an actuator motor, but it's more likely low on freon. Check the level and I'll bet 6-12 ounces will take care of it.

Low freon means a leak, that needs to found and fixed. This could be a very slow leak and difficult to find.

Had the same happen on my Bonneville and Impala.

1998 Town Car A/C Blows Hot Air But Is Charged Up

Hi - There may be 2 separate problems. On my 1991 Lincoln Town Car, there is a Thermal Blower Lockout sensor that disables the heater from blowing until the engine temperature reaches a specific temperature. This way if you have vent or floor settings and 90 degrees set and it is winter, you won't get blasted with cold air. When the vehicle warms up, the TBL circuit enables the climate control to blow the hot air. If you use the flr/def instead of the floor or vent control, the TBL should not prevent the heater from working even with a cold engine. On my car, the TBL went bad and always prevented hot air from blowing on the floor and vent settings, even when the engine was hot. Another thing to check is a thermal limitor resistor. It is designed to cut off the blower at very hot temperatures, except if the blower fan is in the hi setting.

As far as the A/C is concerned, can you verify if the clutch is engaging or not? A rapid cycling of the clutch is an indication of low freon. If you are absolutely sure that you are fully charged on freon, I think there are 2 possible causes: (1) Bad pressure switch on the accumulator is indicating low freon that is telling the compressor not to work; (2) a blocked orifice tube.

96 suburban air conditioning blows out cool in front hot air back

Am investigating same problem. Download the free technical manual and you can find a diagram for the air mix door. If this doesn't shut you will be getting lots of heat through despite the cooling of the Aircon. I don't know how to get at it or fix it but it describes how to run diagnostics - you don't need specialist tools for this. Also a blocked pollen filter probably won't help.
