Alright guys, I had a funky little problem occur over the past couple days and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a 98 Explorer, and the AC hasn't worked since the day I got it in November. Didn't bother me all year, now as its hitting 90º here in Jersey lately - its starting to totally suck. I had the system charged, and I lost every bit of 1.7 pounds of freon in less than 24 hours.
After the truck ran out of freon, no matter whether the dial was turned to cool or heat, the truck blew nothing but hot air - soon thereafter the breaker for the blower motor fried up. I replaced that, and now the blower is working again, however the truck still blows nothing but hot air.
I checked the truck, as did my mechanic and we can not find a leak anywhere with the UV light and looking for the dye. Any pointers on where to look? Any ideas why the breaker would have fried out or is it coincidental? And any pointers on why its blowing hot air now, whereas before it was blowing just ambient temp air? Thanks in advance!
