Just had my A/C recharged. As I was waiting for the warm air to turn cold, I heard freon escaping from what I assume to be a pressure release valve on the compressor. Got out to investigate and assumed it to be some kind of blockage after a little trial & error. Shut it off, went for a drive, and realized after my car overheated once yesterday in 91 degrees.. the problem I thought I had a few months ago existed ; my low speed fan did not come on w/ the air, and probably hasn't been at all!
So now I need to review the possible causes of such a misnomer. I know the motor has two individual windings for low & high. Is it likely that low could burn out w/o high under completely normal stock operation?
Then there is the control box right after the bumper on the passenger side. If this was bad, what other symptoms would I notice?
Are there other, hopefully simpler, possibilities?
Tell me what you think!
