Default AC blows warm air

So I've had a couple of hot days this week, just to find out my AC doesn't work. It blows the same temperature as the vents if not a little warmer. Where do I start?

i would start with a can of refridgerant and leak finder and see if you have any leaks in your lines.


They make the refridgerant/sealant stuff, but i would suggest replacing the line, condenser, evaporator etc. wherever the problem may lie.

it may just be out of freon and if thats the case, you will get few weeks of cold air from the refridgerant! Thats what i did with an old car of mine for a while because i didn't want to pay to have the A/C charged

I'll have my dads friend look at it, he's been a mechanic for 30 years. Just wondering if it was something stupid easy I could do without being shown. I'm good at body work and fixing anything on the body, but when it comes to the engine area, forget it lol

It's a pretty simple and inexpensive procedure but if you can get someone else to do it, why not!
