Air conditioning problem
Ok another thread, Damn it anothr issue. Here it is... I can hear the A/C turning on and the compressor going on, but no air comming into the cabin. It just stop, everything is fine, check the fuse inside the cabin and it is fine. What can it be before taking it to the mechanic and he :butsheek: me, again. Thanks

Your blend door might not be closing, but to verify the compressor and everything is alright, a pressure check with manifold gauges needs to be hooked up.

Do you have auto AC control
On my last max, (95) I had that issue. The climate control would show AC on, fan on high, and no air was moving. Can you feel cold air, seeping out of the vents when you drive? If so, the ac is working, its just the control isn't turning the fan on. You may need a new climate control unit.

Disconnect the blower motor and see if there is power at the harness. If you have power there you can blame the motor, if not it could be the controller.
If you don't already have a service manual, you should pick one up. They have all the wiring diagrams in the back. A multimeter, set to "DC volts" should be used to check for power.

check the fuses under the hood first, change them. if they blew at low and mid settings, you have a bad blower motor. change the motor before it ruins the amplifier.

I think the motor is bad, as it was making some noises a while back, do you know how much does this run for?
