AC Problem
#1
I know this has been discussed many times before but I couldn't find the thread. On a 95 GLE, the air conditioning will be cold and then instantly go hot. Also, if the car has been sitting out in the sun for a while it will not get cold, even at high speeds. At, night though, it will start out cold but eventually get hot again. The freon (SP?) has been checked and fixed but the problem still exists. Any ideas? Thanks

But if you dont have any of that, maybe you've got a bad alternator ? My mom's caravan's AC just started messing up like yours, except it always sprays hot air, no matter what setting it is on. It's goin into the shop tommorow and she has to use my car for most of the day. Anyways, I'll let you know what was wrong if you want, or you can do it yourself.
Hope this helps~

as far as the a/c system on the max goes, it doesn't use R-12 (freon), it uses R-134a. if the place said they fixed it with freon, then that's definitely a mistake right there. the only problem i can think of, that's sporadic as you say it is, would be the compressor. now, if you've got voltage problems (alternator that can't keep up with a loud stereo if u have one) then that could cause it to cut out. i would have the compressor checked first. another thing is if you have a very minor leak in your a/c, and it's right to the limit where the system will shut itself down if it's too low, then that could be causing it as well. all in all, have your compressor checked first. then go from there!! good luck!!

If you dont have the stereo, Go with Adam's advice.

Thanks...
I have the Bose system so that shouldnt be the problem, and also have had a new compressor put in. I guess it could be a leak. Im having a guy work on it this week so hopefully the problem will be solved. Thanks again for the input.

Leak
The AC guy will quickly find the leak if once exists.
