Hey gang,
My 2001's A/C all of a sudden turned into a heater! It seems as if whatever valve is operated by adjusting the thermostat is stuck on "hot" (where I normally have it). I crank down the temp to cold, and it just blows heated (HOT!!!) air.
Any idea what part I need to replace, what is costs, and how to replace it?! If you can help, let me know!
Also, one other thing I noticed. I think my A/C might have a leak now...it's strange. If I engage the A/C compressor (and you can hear it kick on), then shut off the car...there's a "hissing" sound like leaking gas for about 3 seconds coming from the passenger side of the engine. Sounds like it might be one of the steel A/C lines that passes through the firewall.
If I go to an A/C shop, are they going to rob me blind? I'd love to fix it myself, but I'm not quite sure how. Let me know! Thanks!!! :loveu:
