    AC not working.

    I was noticing that the air was not cooling properly. I decided to add some refrigerant. I have gages and have done this work on my car previously. I bought some cans of refrigerant and tried to charge the system. It would not accept any refrigerant and now the AC has completely stopped...

    2013 Explorer AC oddities

    Hello all. I'm having a bit of an stumping issue to me on my AC. 2013 Explorer XLT 3.5NA. AC sometimes blows cool, most of the time not, front and rear. It also sometimes has a musty smell to it.

    Ac clogged?

    Hi guys! I’ve got a Sport trac ‘05. I got the AC filled up and tested by the machine, all good. But when I turned the AC on, I got hot air (warm Arubian air 😅) instead of a nice cold breeze. The AC filler station-machine was measuring 0 degrees celcius. The AC lines almost frost up, until the...

    AC blowing hot. Compression kicking on and off. Freon charged.

    So I’ve got a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT with 172,000 miles on it. The engine was remanufactured and has about 10,000 miles on it, with a transmission not just rebuilt but replaced with reinforced spacers and plates. It runs great, doesn’t leak oil, and the 4x4 is smooth as can be. Here my issue...

    Rolling/Surging Idle w/ AC On (TSB 15-0149)

    I think I understand the issue related to TSB 15-0149. See video below for my thoughts. Here was a video I made before (Oct 2015) showing the issue but the dealer just said it was a little low on Freon, still seemed to have the issue and then I found the TSB (of course after the warranty...

    Odd AC Issue

    So I have been battling this issue on hot days for about 3 years now, pretty much since I got my Explorer and the dealer has never been able to deal with it.

    Hi, I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. When I turn on the air it blows fine but the air doesn't get cold. It's like just the fan is on. Hoping a simple fix, I'm pregnant and need my air haha.

    So im trying to get my ac going. From the start of troubleshooting i manually spun the compressor to make sure it wasnt locked up, learned the system has a low pressure auto cutoff, added uv die and stop leak and recharged the system to where i believe it should run on its own, at that point i...

    1996 Explorer AC Clicking

    The AC will make a somewhat loud click about every 6 seconds. Every time it clicks the engine will slightly rev for a second whenever I'm idling. Here's a video of the AC under the hood.

    2013 Explorer XLT AC issues

    Last week I was driving back from NY to VA. Driving down the highway my "device charging system" light came on. A few miles down the road my AC went out. Then as I got closer to an autozone my power steering went. As soon as that happened I knew something was wrong with my serpentine belt...

    My A/C blows warm air from the drivers side vents. The passengers side vents and the rear vents (over the rear seats) blow noticeably colder air. The drivers side vents blow strong air it's just that it's warm. I haven't noticed any difference switching from "Max Air" to regular air or by...
