Ok so I noticed my a/c has not been blowing as hard as it used to and hasnt been as cold either. I checked the frion level and its where it needs to be. Maybe I need to flush it out and put new frion in and an orphus tube. Also I tried putting a new resistor in and it wasnt that. Maybe its the fan motor but its not making any noises or showing signs of it going bad. I was also thinking maybe the relay is bad. Not sure about this a/c stuff but any help is appreciated

Is your condenser dirty, do the condenser cooling fans kick on when you turn on the a/c If there is blocking in your orfice tube or metering valve it could reduce the flow of the refrigerant. Also flushing it might not hurt because excess moisture or air can reduce the cooling ability.

Hope this gives you a bit of an idea as to things to check that might be wrong. I'm not an expert at a/c systems yet as I just got my MACS certification about 3 months ago.

Yah it turns on soon as I turn the ****. I'm going to try flushing it and all. Check the condensor out and everything. My motor fan just started making noises today, imagine that right. So I think thats another replacement right there lol Thanks for the information though
