Hello all,
Recently purchased a 2003 mercury mountaineer premier 2wd v8 with 28,??? miles.
The a/c worked fine before I left the dealer and now it mostly doesn't work. All the way to a restaurant it didn't work. I put it in park at the restaurant and noticed the rear a/c was blowing hottttt air. Not just warm air but HOT air! So I messed with the above temperature control (which was on top vent not floor and coldest setting on 4.) All of a sudden when I was messing with it all the vents in the rear blew cold air so I was like hmmm that's weird. The front still was blowing non-a/c air but it wasn't hot like the rear was blowing. Few days later I turned it on let it warm up and than nothing came out but a stinky rotten flower smell. So obviously the a/c isn't working if that is the case. Several minutes later the a/c worked??? Mind you that whole time until it started working the rear a/c blew out the same temp as the front.
To me it makes no sense that the rear a/c eventually worked and the front was blowing the same air. This should mean that the a/c clutch works as the coolant lines run off the same stuff under the hood right? BTW the entire time it didn't blow cold I made sure that the engine bay clicked like it does when you engage the a/c.
Second problem
My rear blower makes a clicking noise whenever the rear blower is on, I tried researching but seems as if everyone has a different result to the problem. Some say brakes and than some said 2 different problems with the rear blower.
Sorry if this is all confusing and long, just wanted to make sure i get any and all details that could help. Thanks!
