Inherited this car last winter, and haven't needed the A/C until recently here in Colorado (3 digits today).

Doesn't blow anything but warm/hot air. I've just begun to work on it. Found your forum on TCA and, although my problem sounds somewhat different than that forum, I was impressed at the amount of help provided there.

Does anything jump out at anyone about where I should start? I've checked fuses/relays, but that's it. Jumping 3&5 on A/C relay clicks clutch, but that's all I've done, so far.

HELP... please! Thanks

Not sure if this goes here... new member.

I had the same problem last year..

Kragen / Checkers / Auto Zone /Napa all have little AC kits, they run about $25, but they have a guage to check the pressure, a hose to connect to the AC system, and a can of the AC stuff. Works great, and is about 1/15th the cost of taking it to a shop. Be warned, make sure when you hook it all up, you do so per instructions, or bad things could happen. If you're uncomfortable with doing it at all, take it to a trusted mechanic. Also, you may need to put in a can of sealant, also found in the same vicinity as the AC recharge cans.

$29 and 1/2 hour and it cools. I will keep an eye on it and report in a week or so.

This is a GREAT forum! THANKS!
