Another aircon question

[TheCROW163]

Hi guys,

This is the problem I currently have with my A/C: when I turn it on, it blows regular air, not freezing. I have to then turn of the A/C switch, wait for about 20 seconds and then turn the switch back on in order for the blown air to start freezing. I sometimes have to do it a couple of times.

But after that it works as normal.

Freon level is good though, and I can hear the compressor turning on when I press the A/C switch.

A friend of mine told me that this once happened in his VW; he told me that there is a flap or vent of some sort that opens up in order to introduce the freezing air from the A/C to the cabin. He had to change it and it worked.

My question is: Could this be the problem in my case also? Is there such a thing in my 98SE?

Thanks guys.

I am assuming form your problem description the following:

1) your Pathy has auto air

2) This is a relatively new problem that has come up.

 

 

Given your symptoms with an AUTO AC system it would be the Auto AC amplifier - most likely a loose or corroded connection.

It is less likley to be the in vehicle sensor. (located on the steering column)

The air speed knob has AUTO but I never use it. The problem happens no matter on what speed I have it set.

This problem happens ever since I got the Pathy a year and a half ago.

Please can you provide more details about the amplifier you're referring to?

Thanks.
