Common Car A/C Problems
First, you need to identify exactly what the problem is with your air conditioning system. In some cases, it can be working but not blowing out very cold air. In this case, you may want to ensure none of the systems are clogged up. For example, ensure the cabin air filter is clear and that there is no debris blocking the air flow through the condenser.
If no air is coming out at all, you have not only a problem with your A/C but also with your heat. In this case, there could be a problem with the blower motor or a blown fuse that needs replacement.
Of course, those are just a few of the more common problems. Many more issues 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.
