Hello all, I have read this board for many years (My wife and I have a 1999 and 2005 Explorer), but now I need some advice.
I first noticed a strange problem, the AC is not cutting on in Defrost mode. I switch over and the amber AC light is off, and I cannot get it to turn on. Anyone else had this problem?
I am having a more immediate problem though. The AC is not cold at all on the drivers side. The passengers side and the rear seats (separate climate for rear) do seem to be plenty cold, and I checked today and the refrigerany level is fine, right at 55 PSI. I added a little more but am thinking now I better siphon some of that back off.
When I flip between regular and Max AC I do hear the noise pick up so I assume the recirculate door is operating fine. But I absolutely cook when I'm driving that car! But the passengers all seem to be ok.
Has anyone had a similar issue? I hate to take it to someone without at least myself knowing first what it is, and if I might fix it.
