My A/C turns on and gets cold(the compressor kicks on) when I click th A/C button but it only blows the air out sometimes?? I can barely feel the cold air when Im going like 70-80mph with it set so air is blowing from outside....Its weird because the fan is always on the highest setting and it will start blowing out of no where? Soemtimes when I hit a bump or getting on the gas hard it will click on......but it's a pain with the Florida summer heat....Im thinking maybe a short somewhere?....anyone ever had this problem?
 
The actual fan, you mean? That sounds like a short. IIRC, the A/C compressor itself only comes on now and then... but the fan should always be on, if you've got it set that way. Also might have a bit of debris. IIRC, the fan housing is accessible if you remove the glovebox. There's also a 'squirrel cage' filter in there... might want to check and see if it's full, while you're poking at the fan.
 
the fan wont run on at all now.....the a/c comes on but nothing is blowing....i looked behind the glove and I have no clue what im looking for.....like how do you get to the fan or resistors that my be hiding somewhere?

Is this something i should just bring it in cause its hot as hell down here w/o AC
 
You might want to access the blower motor (fan) and check the voltage output to the fan at the connector. Check the voltage at each fan speed setting. Naturally, lower fan speed settings will yield a lower voltage than higher speeds. If you have steady voltage output at each setting, then your blower motor is the culprit.
 
Actually, the voltage remains 12v at every fan speed setting, its the CURRENT that changes. (amps).
