'97 Jeep Grand Cherokee AC "Works and Stops"

I have a '97 Jeep Grand Cheorokee with a unique AC issue (at least to me) - When the vehicle is started, the AC works fine - blows nice and cold. Then after about 30 minutes, the cold air stops - fan still works fine - just no cold air. The unit has been fully charged - no leaks. Once the Jeep sits overnight, the AC works fine again - only for about 30 minutes. Is there some kind of thermo switch that is 'overheating' and needs to reset? Any ideas? Thank you

Make sure your fan clutch is working. No fan, no cooling of the condenser, no heat dissipation, no cold air. Start the truck and make sure you feel air movement, a lot.

SOURCE: heat/ac not working on 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited

look for Main A/C relay, look for fuses, or go to a/c shop and have gas check out, perhaps leaks, perhaps evaporator, perhaps condenser, but start for relay box on front passengers side, or fuses on same side

I agree, these vehicles have a problem with the blend doors and since the accuators hit the door when it opens and closes, it breaks the doors. and it's a huge job to replace them.

SOURCE: Air Conditioner works intermittently

It could be your low pressure cycle switch is going bad. Check the connection to the switch and it's is located on the A/C Accumulator. The other thing to check is the A/C relay and that is located in the glove box. There is a panel in the glove box that say's relay, there is three relays in there and one of the out side relay's out of the three is the A/C. can not remember which one it is. The middle relay is the fuel pump and the other one is the third break light. Switch the two out side relays and see if your A/C get's better. the other thing too is if the R134a is just a little low, and needs to be topped off. Good luck and hope this helps. if your going to try to recharge the A/C system your self, keep in mind not to over charge.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7. No power to rear of vehicle?

For strangeness like that you need an auto electrician. The scan tool computer can tell which controller is faulty.

You have a unique issue and that is unusual.

1998 jeep grand Cherokee 4x4 right front tire keeps locking up and makeing a grinding sound

Take the brakes apart & look for the problem

Brakes have to come apart once a year anyway,
to remove rust,inspect & lube & you flush the brake
fluid every 2 years,on all vehicles

Maybe the rubber flex hose is restricted or the calipers
& fluid are neglected & everything is just rusted & nothing
works

AC/Heater blower fan stops blowing air into the cabin when I accelerate.

Usually a vac leak. I would check for a leak in the HVAC control system and the line thru the firewall to the engine.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Battery Issues

you should be able to find out what that fuse is by looking under the cover for those fuses. you should see a diagram with explanation for what each fuse is for. or look in your owners manual. or buy a chilton repair manual from a parts store. good luck.

Air conditioner only works while moving. The AC stops cooling when stopped and idleing. Anyone know what causes this?

Your freon level is low, and not circulating on slow compressor speeds. Stop by any shop that has a sign stating they work on a/c and they can recharge it for you in a few minutes. Here where I live they charge about $20.00 labor plus a charge for the freon they put in, they sell it by the pound.
