hi, all-my 2001 windstar's ac will blow air, but not cold air. the pressure is fine, the ac cyclying switch is good, the compressor will kick in, but no cold air. any suggestions?

thanks

What are the pressures?Does the compressor cycle on and off quickly?You could have a temperature blend door problem.

The only reason I know the pressure is fine is I bought a refill kit with the guage on it, when I hooked it up, it registered in the "do not charge" section, I dont remember what the pressure was. The compressor does not cycle quickly. The cannister on the fire wall does not get cold. Is there another switch other than the one on the receiver drier?

Is the compressor engaged and for how long before it cycles?

it will engage and stay engaged for 10-15 minutes

Lol how many do you have and do they all have the same exact problem? Are the radiator fans coming on when you turn the A/C on? Are you sure the gauge on that can isn't mess'd up because i've seen alot of them act up, they are very cheaply made. Buy an A/C manifold gauge set from Autozone's FREE loan-a-tool program and use it to check the high and low side pressures to proprerly diagnose the problems. It's around $100 but when you take it back you get a full refund tax and all plus it's very good quality compared to others that they have for purchase.
