R50/53 Odd A/C symtom, any ideas?
Odd A/C symtom, any ideas?
This is my third R53, Sold my first '03 to my son with 50K on it, hit a feral hog with my second '05 with 148K on it, third is '06 checkmate with 98k on it.
Here is my problem that it didn't have with either of my two prior R53's is that the both driver side A/C vents blow warm arm at best, both passenger side blows ice cold. Why and how do do I fix this. I have to believe that the A/C is working properly and that this is a ducting issue. I checked parts online and tech manuals about fresh air relay, but wouldn't that effect both sides and not just one side. Any techs with help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

read a thread on this somewhere else i thought.
there is supposed to be a self diagnosis you can do on the AC system that checks all the flaps, ect.
its around here, but i dont know the thread or initializing sequence off the top of my head...

ECS the other thread you linked indicated that the solution to this problem was a Freon charge or a new condenser. Do you agree with that thread or think it is a Flap?
I was using that thread for picture example of the flaps. I would check those flaps first and check for the arms and actuators. Then the a/c cooling system for charge and leaks.
Thanks
Thanks
