Well the weather is starting to turn nice around here and I turned on the A/C today in the car. It was on Auto at 68 degrees and I noticed it was just blowing air that was not cool, so I hit the A/C OFF switch and cool air came out. Turn to A/C ON and no cool air, any one have a clue what this mix-up could be about

I'm hoping it is simple user error

Thanks,

Nate

 

Easy one nate don't put on the AC when its 50 degrees out.

 

haha, well Lou, you know I'm kinda different

 

I know stupid joke but at least I try The only thing I can think of was that....the air outside being colder than the 68 degrees pre-set inside if its mechanical tho

 

still doesn't answer why it comes on cold when I push A/C OFF

 

On A/C off you were getting outside air that fealt cool because it was; with the A/C on you told it to give you 68 degree cabin temperature so it did- if the temp inside the car was below that the system had to add heat to give you what it did- which was de-humidified warm air. Wait for the cabin to get really warm and then hit A/C again, it should blow cool air. Just my best guess but I could be wrong.

 

Worked for me on a +40 degree morning ... had the A/C on by accident and noticed that it was warming me up...

The cold and hot air get mixed together -- great for clearing mist/fog off the inside of the windscreen...

One note, until the engine coolant comes up to temp, it can get a bit cold…

If I hadn't had the temp at 65, I would have turned into a Popsicle
