AC blowing a little cool air

The ac is blowing a little cool air and i know it is low on coolant. And my question is where is the fitting located to put more coolant in it. I've looked on all the lines and could not find the valve to add the gas. So is there some place they put it or what is needed to get AC charged.

SOURCE: Recharge AC on my Chevy Impala 2003

You need to follow the ac lines from the ac compressor to the ac condensor to the fire wall behind the engine where it goes to the heater box.There are two connections,both at differant locations,a low side that has a screw on red or blue cap with the letter L on it and a high side with a cap that has the letter H on it.The refridgerant goes into the low side.Hope this helps.

SOURCE: AC is not blowing cold air. How do I add freon?

What you will be looking for (in your engine compartment) looks almost like a large valve stem that you would see on a tire. It will probably have some kind of plastic cap on it.

It shouldn't be that difficult to find. You may want to search for an engine compartment diagram for your make/model/year vehicle.

SOURCE: ac low side service port location

Your service port will always be in the larger line of the two .. which is low pressure side. It might be in the dryer also which is low side.. your dryer is about 3 inches across and 8 inches long and also has your pressure switch for the AC compressor in it.. holler if you dont find it now... thanks Jerry

SOURCE: Where is the low pressure line AC for Express 1500

Look for the accumulator(silver can a/c lines go to) on the passenger side of engine area. The Low side charging port cap should be on the side of the accumulator.

SOURCE: 2001 dodge ram 1500 ac is blowing hot air instead of cold

Your A/C sounds like it needs to be vacuumed
out and then recharged to factory specs. That
should solve the problem.

My AC some times blows cool air with good pressure but most of the time blows air with low pressure. I have checked the AC pipe also. Its cool.

I'm wondering if it's NOT the AC but the blower fan, how does the heat side blow? if it's good on all blower settings then, it's more than likely your blender door is not opening and closing all the way. When the blender door stays open a little bit it'll let warmer outside air mix with the cold AC air causing it not to be as cold as it should.

A/c not cooling or blowing right

Most of the time you're a little low on freon...u can get a gage and a couple cans of freon for about $50 bucks at Oriely's. Make sure you're coolant level is good too....sometimes a low coolant level can cause your AC to cool intermitantly...I've had that problem...and if you can't keep the coolant level where it needs to be without is boiling over, then you have a bad thermostat, that's just a matter of a new thermostat, 4 botls, and a new gasket...hope this helps!

A local garage mechanic says the clutch has stopped working on ac that is why it blows hot air instead of cool says it will cost $900. to fix cause I have to buy the whole ac unit does this sound correct?...

have you tried charging the ac system? most ac compressors have a pressure switch that will not allow the relay to engage the clutch if the coolant pressure is low. $15 can of r134a and maybe a $20 Haynes manual is well worth the price difference, eh?

My ac compressor broke. I had a new compressor and expansion valve replaced. It cools a little on high but not enough. Any ideas on the problem?

You need to check the refrigerant pressures (high & low) and learned the reason for the cooling problem-the gauges are the only way you could ever know what is going one with the AC-low pressures (both sides), low refrigerant-high pressure, over charged and not allowing the AC to cool.

My girlfriends 2003 beetle,s ac does not blow cold air. This happened after an issue with low coolant. Is there any connection here, or is there other potential causes?

does it blow cold ac when the car is started after sittin overnight? if it does and gradually gets warmer as the car warms up, then you may have an air bubble in your cooling system caused by the low coolant level. if it blows warm anytime, then your ac system may need to be inspected or recharged.

A/c blows hot

Your car is low on refrigerant.
  1. Your system requires R-134A refrigerant which is available at most auto parts stores.
  2. You will also need a hose to connect the refrigerant to the AC system.
  3. You will need to locate the low side AC fitting (looks like a nipple)
  4. With the car running and the AC turned on high, attach the hose to the AC fitting,
  5. attach a can of refrigerant to the other end of the hose.
  6. Turn the screw on the hose to puncture the top of the refrigerant.
  7. Move the can back and forth until the refrigerant is empty.
  8. Detach the hose from the AC system.
Check to see if frost forms on the AC lines under the hood and cool air blowing from the vents inside. If the air isn't cold enough, add another can of refrigerant.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the system. If the system doesn't "**** in" the refrigerant, the compressor needs resetting (disconnect battery 5 min in GM cars and trucks)
I hope this solves your AC issue. All the best!

2003 Suzuki XL7 A/C won't stay on

The low pressure is in the grill by the radiator. The issue your having with it cutting off then on is easily fixed by removing some of the AC coolant. Any ideas on why the rear AC is not working? Is there a seperate fuse for the rear AC? It just blows warm air.

97 Ford Econoline air conditioning and vent settings blowing hot

I know from experience that if the coolant is to low ( not just the freon levels in the compresor but the antifreeze/coolant level as well) the AC system will not cool and will blow hot. Check the coolant Antifreeze and freon levels, even with the Coolant being a little low my 1998 Ford E150 Van will blow hot. After you have ruled out of these possibilities and the chance it is the thermostat most likely the problem is what Ford calls the "Flap" it controls the air flow through the vent system when you switch from Heat to AC. When the Flap is working it closes off one systems air flow so as to not interfere with the current climate selection.

AC problem

yes you can flush out the coolant system, also you might need to recharge the AC system by using the Refergerint R-134A (which you can buy at autozone or other auto part stores) and charge the 134A on the Low side port.
