It was 90 degrees F today and i turned on the ac but there was warm air instead of cold and it sounds like its working because of the air blowing.

the car recently had its radiator replaced and i was wondering if the radiator had to do with the AC's malfunction. It was working before if i recall.

Today was a bad day because i was sweating going to school and the windows did no help.

Is it safe to drive on the highway with all windows down?

 

Very well could be related to the radiator replacement, the AC components are located closeby. I'm in the middle of radiator fan issues now, and I know that if I heat up too much, I'm likely to fry AC components. I don't know much more than that.

It's absolutely safe to drive on the highway with all the windows down.

 

hey, thanks for the quick reply, hopefully the dealer can make up for their mistake if its theirs but i doubt it as they will just make up stuff so that i get charged for the repair. I actually called them earlier and said the exact thing as the title and he had nothing to say for 3 secs then told me it might be related and let them have a look at it.

also, i wish its just a fuse or something small so that i can fix it easily.

 

Air blowing has nothing to do with the compressor- it is used to "make the cold". It is possible that the wiring connection to the copressor came loose. They can also check the circuit with a test probe to see if there is power to the compressor clutch- if ok then the clutch has failed on compressor and the whole assembly needs to be replaced.

 

It depends on if you've had a hearty meal....don't get blown outta there

 

possible that your AC got bled as part of the radiator install and just didn't get recharged ...
