Common Car A/C Problems 

First, you need to know exactly what the problem with your A/C. In some cases, it can be working but not be blowing out very cold air. In this case, you may want to ensure none of the systems are clogged up. For example, make sure the cabin air filter is clear and that there is no debris causing a problem for air to move through the condenser. 

If no air is coming out at all, the you not only have a problem with your A/C but also your heat. In this case, there could be a problem with the blower motor, or perhaps even a busted fuse that needs replacing. 

Of course, those are only some of the more common problems. There are many more issues that could be causing problems for your car’s A/C system, so if you need to, it never hurts to have it looked at by a professional mechanic.
