Why is my Car Air Conditioning Not Blowing Cold?

Why is my Car Air Conditioning Not Blowing Cold?

Now that summer is here, Cold A/C is most import.  The driver compartment can become very hot and uncomfortable if Cold Air is not coming out of the vents.  There are many things that can cause your Air Conditioning to not Blow Cold.  Let’s go over some common reasons for this.

  1. Low Freon: The most common reason for Air Conditioning not blowing cold is low Freon Charge.  As our vehicle ages, O-ring seals and rubber hoses can start leaking.  When enough freon leaks out of the A/C system, the A/C compressor will turn off and warm air will come out of your vents.  The leaks must be fixed and new freon added or a new freon charge will just leak back out again.
  2. An overheating engine: If the cooling system is faulty, the A/C System will stop working.
  3. Electrical Issues: Your car is one big Computer System.  Electrical issues occur for many reasons. Loose or worn connectors, damaged or melted wire harnesses can be a problem. Faulty relays, switches or fuses can cause the problem. Also, computer modules, faulty control heads, and faulty PCM computers can also rob you of cold air.
  4. Mechanical Failures: As your car gets older, Mechanical failures can occur.  Common failures that we see at our Auto Repair Shop are A/C Compressors, and Pressure Switches. A/C Condensers, Expansion Valves, Receiver Dryers, and Evaporator Cores can cause an A/C to shut down.  Cooling Fan Motors and Blower Motors are also components that can shut down your A/C System.
