2005 kia sedona AC not cooling

AC started going out a few weeks ago. It would stop blowing cold occasionally, but I could wiggle the temp control knob to get it to work. Then it quit at stop lights, now no cold air, but the blower works. The control LED will light, but no compressor. Tried to add refrigerant with a single gauge on low side but it wouldn't take it and the gauge reads zero. Need to know where to check voltages and how to locate and jump the triple switch to see if the compressor still works

do a pressure test. You may have lost freon to the point where it will not let the compressor come on. If you do not have any gages or access to a gage, buy one of the cans of freon that has the low pressure gage attached. Make sure you get the one that has 134A with sealer. The pressure should be about 100psi not running and go down to about 60 when it is running. IF you have a slow leak and the system is low, the compressor will not come on. If you get very low or no pressure when you hook up the can, don't waste your money, have the system checked for the leak. You must vacuum the system down to 30 inches of vacuum before refilling if it is empty, and it does not good to fill it if it is just going to come back out.

Hope this helps

If you dual climate control sounds like it the mode door actuator that controls driver and passenger temp. If it went bad again then there is something wrong with the mode door itself causing the actuator to short out

2005 RX8 heater is blowing cold air. Fluids are topped up.

You need to repair the heater core with a soldering gun.

If you do not have heat, or only have heat, IMHO it is most likey the AC/heater control unit. This is the part which has the AC/heat control buttons and knobs.

Easy Diagnosis:
The easiest way to verify this is to turn on the radio, press and hold the power on/off button and press and hold the scan-up button for a second (full second). The word "A/C TEMP" should appear on the left of the display and a number from 0 to 16 on the right. I suspect yours will have the number 0 (or 16 if heating only problem) displayed no matter where you turn the temperature control knob. If this is the case you could turn the temp. knob to full heat and see if it goes to 16 after pushing down or to the right on the knob.
In a working system, the number moves evenly in increments of 1, from 0 to 16 as you turn the temperature knob.

Easy Fix:
I was able to take mine out and solder 3 loose connections to fix it.

The beginning steps are the same as for any radio removal procedure and check for loose connections.
