So I've been having this weird problem with the A/C in my '98 Mounty for the last couple of months.
When the A/C or max A/C positions are selected all is well - ice cold air. I can hear the A/C compressor kicking on but nothing else out of the ordinary.
Now when I select the upper vent only, floor only, or dual, the air is still ice cold. And this isn't just shortly after turning off the A/C. I can ride in the car for literally 5 hours with the A/C off and it's still ice cold. I know it's not a blend door issue because the air will get warm if I turn the blend knob to warm.
I'm guessing the compressor is still cycling (since I can hear it) with the A/C off, but I have no idea why or how to fix it.
Thoughts?
