Whats up w/ my A/C? Anyone know?

[Peyman]

well a couple days ago , my ac worked perfectly, so u know how theres like 4 slots you can put the ac on...the slots that control how cold u want it to be is what im talking about, well when its in the first, second or third slot it works fine, but when i switch it the the 4th (coldest setting) it pretty much shuts off, a tiny tiny breeze is coming out if u put ur hand next to vents, but it still pretty much shut off, anyways, does anyone have a clue of what caused this to happen or how i can fix it?

Sounds like a pretty minor electrical problem to me. Perhaps a relay problem, or maybe something as simple as a dirty connection. If it were me, I would pull out the switch and inspect it first, clean it up with the handymans secret weapon, WD-40 (sorry Red). You can also get a meter and test the relay.

I believe your talking about the blower (fan) switch. The problem is minor, you need a new blower motor resistor. Common problem.

It might be the A/C Heater control panel. The panel works off of a vacuum to change to feet, head, windshield, ect

1. Open the hood, and face the driver seat.
2. Look down. See battery.
3. Look below battery. See black plastic ball about 4 inches diameter.
This is the 'vacuum reservoir' that 'gets' vacuum from the intake manifold and 'stores' the vacuum for operation of the vent'flapper valves in the ductwork.
4. There are 2 small (1/8") hard plastic tubes going and coming from the reservoir. They connect to the reservoir and to some molded fittings with 3/8" soft rubber nipple hoses.
5. It is likely that one of these nipples pulled loose from the tubing, fitting, or reservoir.

Check carefully with a strong flashlight.
Reconnect any loose nipple by just slipping it on.
