A/C blows out hot. Need freon?

When I turn on my a/c it only blows out hot air. Do you think the freon needs to be charged? What could cause this?

Re: A/C blows out hot. Need freon?

it depends on how hot, if its warm then it just needs freon, but if its hot then make sure the car aint overheating.

Make sure the blend door is functioning.

With the controls set to the AC position see if the compressor is turning.

Then see if the radiator fan is turning.

If they are, use a set of gages to measure the pressures in the system.

If it’s low add refrigerant and check for leaks.



Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
