Gentlemen,
I hate to keep blowing up the boards here but I have had this issue and read many different threads on this similar problem. I know nothing about a/c. What i do know, i have read on this site..making me dangerous!
I have had this problem for years. I run my a/c on high and it does cool but not to the point that you have to turn down the fan. I always must keep it on high.
I do know the dealership replaced the compressor about 6 years ago, which i thought had fixed it but it was Fall and maybe i just couldnt tell then. I only drove it once a week then. Also, a friend and I checked the 134a about 6 months ago with his gauges and he said it really didnt need any. We went ahead and added a bit more but i do recall not near the dangerous area of the guages.
I live in east Tennessee. The weather was 77 with 47% humidity when i performed this test. I used my Fluke meter to guage the temperature. The minimum and max temperature was 57-64. Doors were open and I had the probe placed about 1/2 in inside the far right passenger vent. I never noticed the compressor turn off and on(or cycle i guess its called). The temperature differance listed at 57-64 may have been due to the probe moving around in the vent. (i kept lifting the meter up to read) or it may have been to changing it from recirculate and back. I did all this for 30+ minutes.
Of course im hoping its a simple switch i can replace, what do you think?
