2002 Dodge Grand Caravan - A/C blows cold in back, but not in front

I just did a self-recharge on my refrigerant, and have found that the back is blowing cool air but the front is not. I can hear the compressor kicking on, but no length of time gets the front blowing cool. When I turn off the A/C, or the vehicle, there's a sort of slow hiss/wheeze that comes from the front vents as it spins down.

Blower motor not working , do you feel an air movement out the front vent's ? ( I just did a self-recharge on my refrigerant ) Too much of a charge can work as not enough of a charge . The back or AUX HVAC system works off the same compressor as the front . The noise you hear is just refrigerant moving through the system . Temp .door actuator maybe . Your best bet ,mite be to take to a qualified repair shop. Doesn't sound like you know about automotive A/C systems . .

SOURCE: Dodge 2002 Grand Caravan V6 3.3 engine overheating/no cabin heat.

Replace the bad radiator hose first.  Second- get you special formulated anti-freeze dye from the auto store and pour it into the radiator.  Third- make sure you got all the air pockets out of your system, cause the coolant system won't work with air pockets in it.  Fourth- Check for leaks by looking for the colored dye.  If it's not the radiator hose, then could possibly be a pin hole in your radiator.  Would suggest replacing all the radiator hoses at the same time while you got the coolant system disconnected, cause you don't want to have to come back and replace another hose in a few months.

I have a 2003 dodge caravan and the front air blows cold but the rear vents are blowing hot air what could the problem the fans are both working fine

The problem may just be with the evaporator unit found at the passenger cabin. At times you may just need some cleaning to get it working.

Have a 2002 Dodge Caravan and having problems w/heat. Only blows on high and does not get hot, as the vehicle warms up the air gets cold.

That's a well-known problem. There is an excellent video on you-tube on how to do it. It is not hard, or messy, or expensive. You should be able to do it yourself. Search on Blower Motor resistor Caravan 2002

Ac blowing ht air, compressor not coming on

Check the fuses/relay for the compressor. If good, bypass the pressure switch. If the compressor comes on, there is too little internal pressure. Have the system evacuated and recharged. If the compressor does not come on, it could be bad.

It would appear that the relay is located on the cross rail that runs across the front of the vehicle (in front of the radiator). I found out that it is riveted in place by a single rivet, so in order to replace mine, I will have to remove the rivet and use a self-tapping screw to secure a new one.
The fan relay is located in the fuse panel located under the hood beside the battery. It will be marked under the lid. Make sure you check the maxi fuse for the fan also.

1997 dodge grand caravan a/c

What are the readings on your A/C service gauges, hi and low sides? If you don't have service gauges, inexpensive ones can be purchased at stores like: Harbor Freight, Walmart, Pep Boys, etc. The gauge readings are the first step to a correct diagnosis.

Your system may be low on refrigerant. If you also have a rear heating unit, the air mixing door or water valve may not be shutting off. Your expansion valve may be bad in the rear unit.

If you can access your rear a/c, check to see if the inlet hose is hot or cold. If it is cold, you are low on refrigerant. If it is hot and the tube coming out of the expansion valve/orifice is cold, this is the way it is supposed to be. If the tube on the outlet of the evaporator is not cold, then you are low on refrigerant or the expansion valve/orifice may be bad.
