Chevy Equinox
When idling, cold air conditioning does not blow out....only lukewarm.
Last summer one of the AC fans was out....took a while to get one
in.....still didn't fix the problem. Recently replaced the cabin air
filter....still didn't fix the problem. Taking a trip and am worried about
the AC not working while in heavy traffic. Please help. When idled in
heavy traffic or at a drive through, AC is not cold.
As with any problem of A/C not blowing cold enough, the first thing is
to make sure the freon charge is sufficient. Just putting gauges on
and looking at readings may not be enough. If the system is even a
1/2 pound low on freon, the gauges will read fine, but the system will
not cool properly. Especially at idle and in very humid weather. If the
charge is good, then you need to make sure that the radiator fan is
running, the condenser (it is in front of the radiator) is clean. If these
all check out, then you may need to do a control head re-calibration.
