Car AC Blowing Warm Air
The car AC is running but blowing warm or hot air instead of cold air. A frustrating problem especially in Saudi Arabia's heat.
Possible Causes
Empty Refrigerant
High likelihoodRefrigerant has completely leaked out of the system due to a significant leak.
Compressor Clutch Failure
Medium likelihoodThe compressor clutch is not engaging, so the compressor does not spin and no refrigerant compression occurs.
Blend Door Issue
Low likelihoodThe blend door is stuck on the heat position, mixing cold air with hot air.
How to Diagnose?
- 1 Check if compressor clutch is engaging
- 2 Measure system refrigerant pressure
- 3 Inspect AC fuses and relays
- 4 Verify blend door operation
