I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer LT with the following problem; the A/C doesn't seem to work correctly. If I turn on the A/C it blows cold air and then hot (like engine hot) air and does this continually. Does the A/C need recharged? I had the a/c charged less than six months ago.
Yesterday the battery died and that is when this all started. It is also making a gurgling/moaning noise eminating from the glove box on the passenger side. It hasnt done that before either.
As you can probably tell, I am not a mechanic. Any help would be appreciated.

i have a 98 blazer and ive been having the same problem. did you have any luck fixing it?
EDIT: the problem seems to get worse when vehicle is running but stopped for a while. but then after i drive for a bit on the highway it blows the cold air again.

Just started yesterday. No luck fixing it yet, but I am off tomorrow, gonna try recharging the a/c. I haven't had it out on the highway yet. What are your plans for fixing it?

If both of you have automatic climate control, then you should first try to recalibrate the temperature door. Try disconnecting the battery for 10-15 minutes and reconnecting it, then turning the key to the ON position until you do not hear any more noises from the glove box area.
If that does not work, another method that I have used in the past has been to disconnect the HVAC control module with the key in the ON position, leave it disconnected for 10-15 minutes (turn the truck off), then plug it back in with the key in the ON position again.
If neither of these methods work, then it may be time for a new temperature door actuator.
