97 Windstar, A/c Questions, Also Clock Settings

Good Evening,

Its gotten hot here in Missouri and I tried to turn the air on today in my 97 Windstar. Of course it blows hot air. Worked fine last year, blew like crazy. What should I do? Please help. Getting BIG TIME grief from the wife. Also, I don't know how to set the time on the radio since the day light savings time changed. Please help on both. Thanks very much in advance.

I've got the spring-surprise with my ac also. It was great last fall ... I checked the refrigerant pressure and all was OK ... was not able to put one ounce of refrigerant in the thing.

Now the refrigerant isn't just low .... it's GONE! I obviously have a huge sudden leak somewhere ... and the system has gone "atmospheric" ... so I've got my work cut out for me.

Same thing happen with my 98 windstar last year. I have it fix at the ford dealer and it cost around $103 including labor. I read at cartracker.com that you can fix it yourself with only buying the part for $25-ish (please correct me if i'm wrong).

Hope this helps.

To set time: Hold down the button that says 'clock', then press 'seek' button on the left to set hours, and 'seek' button on right to set minutes. I think you can only set time forward, not backward. Good Luck with the air-conditioner. I don't use mine, but when the wife comes along for the ride, it better be working.
