The door's drainage system could be clogged. The car door has a drainage system inside which allows rainwater to flow down outside, however over time it gets clogged with dirt and the water accumulation inside will leak into the vehicle. Go to a mechanic where they can use a pneumatic air gun or some device to clear the blockage.

Go to Autozone or other auto parts store and borrow a code reader. A deposit will be required. Or if the car is running just ask the counter person to test vehicle for you and he will recommend the parts to fix it. The most common reason a check engine light comes on is the O2 sensor is bad.

The dealer might, but I saw a dealer charge a girl $75 for the code. I'll try to find more about it.

May not be getting enough fuel, if it revved then cut out the computer might of been asking for more fuel

Water in the passenger foot well, or coolant? Press a paper towel to the floor and see if the water is green. If so, then you have a leaking heater core. A heater core is pretty cheap, but the labor or installing one is pretty intense.If it's just water then do you notice this more after it rains? If so, then it could mean the drainage system for your cowl is clogged and is causing it to back up into the vehicle.

see this causes and fix it. God bless youCompressor Checks Start with the compressor. Does it engage when you turn on the A/C? If so, the compressor is working and the A/C system probably contains enough refrigerant to make cold air, so the problem is inside the HVAC unit. Replace the motor that controls the blend air door (this is a difficult job and best left to a professional since it involves tearing apart the HVAC unit -- about an 8 to 10 hour job!). If the compressor does not engage when you turn on the A/C, see if it will run by jumping the compressor clutch wire directly to the battery (use a fused jumper wire). If the compressor works when you jump it, and the A/C blows cold air, the system contains refrigerant and the fault is likely a bad A/C compressor clutch relay or a bad clutch cycling switch or pressure switch. If the compressor does not engage when you jump it, the problem is a bad compressor clutch. If the clutch engages but the compressor does not turn (the belt will start to slip and squeal), the compressor is locked up and you need a new compressor. If the compressor clutch engages and turns the compressor, but the A/C still does not blow cold air, the system is probably low on refrigerant and needs to be recharged. Refrigerant Checks Connect an A/C pressure gauge to the HIGH SIDE service port (located in the high pressure hose that runs between the compressor and the condenser in the front of the engine compartment). The gauge will tell you if there is any pressure in the system. Simply depressing the service fitting valve with a small screwdriver to see if any refrigerant squirts out is NOT an accurate check because it tell you how much pressure is in the system. It may still have some pressure but not enough to trip the low pressure safety switch so the compressor will engage. If your A/C system is low or out of refrigerant, check for leaks, then have the A/C system vacuum purged to remove air. After the air is out, it can be recharged with the specified amount of refrigerant. It is important to get any air out as this will reduce cooling efficiency and may make the compressor noisy. A/C System Functional Checks If the refrigeration circuit seems to be working (refrigerant in the system, compressor running and building pressure), but there is still no cooling, the problem might be an obstruction in the orifice tube (located in the high pressure hose between the condenser in the front of the radiator, and the evaporator located in the passenger compartment). A blockage here will prevent the refrigerant from entering the evaporator or recirculating through the refrigeration circuit. If the orifice tube is plugged, the high side pressure reading will be lower than normal, and the low side reading will also be lower than normal because no refrigerant is circulating through the system. If the refrigeration circuit seems to be functioning normally (compressor running, frost or condensation on the high pressure line from the condenser to the evaporator), but no cool air is blowing out of the ducts inside the car (and the blower is working), the fault is likely a BLEND AIR door that is stuck in the HEAT position, or possibly a badly clogged cabin air filter that is restricting airflow. Another possibility would be a fault in the automatic climate control system such as a ad interior temperature sensor or control module.

It may be a defective clutch pressure plate release bearing. Have a local shop listen to the noise to confirm this is the cause.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. To me it is the hot/cold controller knob or the electronic valve if it has one. It could also be the Blend Door Actuators sticking. Plus if the engine is getting to hot, you have airlocks. I wrote a tip on that. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29872074-vehicle_cooling_system_no_heat and other ideas here. https://www.google.com/search?q=ford+ka+blowing+hot+air ..

if the light comes on then extinguishes, its normally a sign the ac pressure is too low and so will not run to prevent AC pump damage due to lack of lubrication (is in the refridgerant) get the system checked for leaks and have it refilled at halfords for £50

uk last 2006 car? (in the UK sure) we can not see you radio there of 10,000 possible or if oem radio or aftermarket zillion different radios put in,. the users guide on car (lost it) telsl you then names of fuses. or some hacked in an aftermarket radio there is no limits to what they did. right or wrong. nobody can see your dash nor the radio pulled out see the RADIO label on top. radio background lamp dead with parking lamps on? most radios the red wire to goes to the fuse. some radios have local fuses or both. nobody can guess this. lacking witchcraft.

Sound like that is an amp issue. i believe that car has a factory amp. make sure you have the amp power wire from the radio to the amp connected and check the fuse for the amp as well. (then you should probably make sure the amp is still even in the car otherwise your radio wires will never make it to the speakers.)
