Climate control problem

My max with climate control has a climate control problem that drives me insane. When it's hot out and I get in my car and set the AC to 65 deg and let it rip, the A/C doesn't kick in. It just blows non-conditioned air which just feels like warm air. I have to turn the whole climate control unit off and then on again for the AC to kick in.

Anyone else experience this?

I've not had the same problem...however sometimes I have to wonder where the sensor is located (like it never gets the right reading and it either never gets warm enough or cold enough).

You might be experiencing what I thought was a problem too when I first got my Max. Make sure you're pressing AUTO when you start the A/C. If its on ECON that wont get you anything. Just be sure to hit auto and i usually have to lower the fan speed cause it blasts at beginning.

Let us know.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure that I have been but I'll be extra careful and observant the next few days.
