Dear JK:
A/C problem on my 2001 Chevy Venture van and the A/C is blowing
warm, quit working. I took to a mechanic shop, they put freon in
about 3 weeks ago, now it is blowing warm again. Dont want to take
back again. Any ideas where a leaking is?
Do you know of any areas that have leaking problem i could find myself
or even fix.

most common freon leaks on these vans.
Hope this helps.

Answer: You either have a control head problem, or
more likely an actuator problem. There are doors
inside your heater case that control the flow of cool and
hot air to the proper places when you select them on
the control head. If there is a problem with one of those
door actuators, it usually results in the wrong delivery
of air, either to the wrong vents, or the wrong
temperature. Luckily, when there is a problem like this,
it will store a trouble code. You would need to get the
Venture van looked at by a reliable technician,
preferably at a Chevrolet dealership. They would be
able to diagnose the exact problem and fix it for you.
