- 2003 Eddie Bauer
My 2003 Eddie Bauer had an air conditioning issue. At times, the air conditioning was blowing out of the main front vents then the air would stop blowing at all but the fan was still running and it sounded like air was blowing...just no air coming out of the main vents while the air was on...for about a minute and a half. Air was cool and not cold. Inspection under the hood found Freon leaking from the compressor. It could have been the o rings or the compressor but with 13 years on it, I changed the compressor and the accumulator (where I add Freon) and charged it to 48 lbs. The result: much colder air, no leaks but still that intermittent stopping of air blowing out the main front vents. It is much better than before and only happens infrequently now and the air blowing comes back in a much shorter time. Infrequently=two or three times a day. Air conditioning otherwise is fine.
So does anyone have an idea why the air could stop blowing completely for 30 seconds to a minute and then come back full force? Could it be the cycle switch or delivery of air issue as with a leaking vacuum hose messing with the opening and closing of the vent doors inside the console? Heat works fine with no issues with air coming out of front vents. When it is comfortable outside, say 70, and the air is not on and just vent air blowing, the air always blows out strong and never stops. I have searched the internet and I can't figure it. It seems either the air is blowing or not blowing and there is no intermittency. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
