A/C not blowing cold air (posted on 1995 maxima forum in error)

My car is equipped with one of those electronic air conditioner/temperature controls. My airconditioner was working fine, blowing cold air but i could tell it was getting low on freon. I added a can and folllowed all instructions - keep car running, turn on air conditioner, (hit "AUTO" and turn temperature down as far as it can go: 18 degrees celsius), i emptied the can, but then it stopped blowing cold air completely. In fact, there does not seem to be any difference when I run the blower ("ECON") and the airconditioner (AUTO). I checked the fuse in the fuse box and its not blown. Please help...

    Problem solved. I think I overfilled the system. What I did when I got home yesterday was bleed the line a bit. Hot air - yes I said hot air - came out for about 20 seconds before the freon started to bleed. I had the car running with the AC on and you could hear the motor kick in as soon as the hot air was bled. Works perfectly now.

My air condition only blows out cold air not hot

Turn your air conditioner OFF and turn your heater ON. Air conditioners were designed to blow out one temperature of air... COLD.

Why doesn't the air blower on my 1989 olds AC blow air into the cabin.

It is likely the integrated circuitry on the switch control but it would have to be diagnosed with electronic test equipment outside the GM shop but a GM shop could likely give you a better idea and diagnosis. There migth also be a recall or service bulletin so it would not hurt to speak to a GM service advisor or shop foreman.

2002 Nissan Maxima SE - Air condition not blowing cold air

simply "adding a can"is a good way to end up with non-functional A/C. the typical system has high/low pressure switches that enable/disable the system. you need to be at the correct volume of refrigerant as specified on the sticker under the hood. i recommend using the proper equipment, evacuating, pulling a vacuum, and then refilling the system with the appropriate amount.

Air conditioner is not blowing cold air

if you recharge it with freon and dye then when it leaks out you will see the dye and then you will find the leak.

AC runs cold, then hot, then cold

this sounds like a defective air temperature control sensor, it is located behind the glove box, problem is the part is most likely no longer availiable from Ford..
