Re: 2000 Intrigue A/C problems
Whenever, you have one side cooling and the other side warm, the first thing you do is to check the temp door actuators for the passenger and driver's side......
You can either go into ECON mode(which shuts off the compressor), or you just go into heat mode.......
Then you set both sides for full heat and measure each side with a thermometer.....they should be the same, around 145-155 on a fully warmed engine.....then set both sides for full cold.....both sides should drop to whatever the ambient air temp is....if they are the same, then the actuators are ok....
The reason why you have one side warm and the other cool, is because when you are low on freon, the refrigerant takes a short circuit through the upper half of the evaporator......so, since one side is fed by the upper half, and the other side is fed by the lower half, that's what causes the temp difference....
