Hello,
I posted this a while back but didn't get any answers, and didn't have the issue again until just recently.
The Ex has had an intermittent problem with the A/C for some time now. Until recently, the issue has been hard to track down. The A/C usually runs just fine, but suddenly you get warm air.
It did this once all the way home and I managed to find extremely high pressure in the low side (about 300 PSI or so) and low pressure in the high side (100 PSI or thereabouts). IIRC outside temperature was 95° at the time.
I have a feeling this is a sign of a bad compressor, not a job I looked forward to doing anytime soon. :thumbdwn: Since it works OK for now, I probably won't be getting around to this until next season. What do you think?
