2002 crown vic lx sport with 127k miles
bought it 3 months ago
it has the digital climate control. everything on the digital climate control works as far as blowing on hot or low, switching from floor to vent to defrost, that all works.
problem is it only blows hot. if I put it on max a/c at 60 degrees it will read 60 degrees ac on the screen but it blows hot as if its on 90 degrees heat. doesn't matter if I put on 70 or 80 it doesn't feel like it changes but it reads whatever I put it to. I can get in the car on a cold morning and put it on 60 ac and it will heat up as if its 90 heat.
also the compressor does kick on when I put it on ac
ive read about some of the common problems with the digital climate control but not sure if this is one of them.
I haven't had the Freon level checked but I had it in the shop for an oil change and the guy said he didn't think it was a Freon issue because it wouldn't blow that hot. he said it would at least suck up some outside air and that it would be a bit cooler.
he says he thinks its the blend door actuator that is behind the dash and quoted 650 to fix that since its a lot of labor. a buddy of mine checked the blend door that is behind the glove and he said that seamed fine. theres a few to my understanding.
anyways im hoping its the digital climate control, there is a guy that rebuilds them and he says he will put one of his rebuilt units in for 150 and if it doesn't work he will take it back out and not charge but I don't wanna waste either of our time if that doesn't seam to be the problem.
what do you guys think?
p.s. guy at the gas station shop said he thinks its low on Freon. getting a bunch of mixed answers
