My air conditioner is not blowing out "cold" air and makes noise

Problem with Car Air Conditioner

I have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe. My air conditioner is not blowing out "cold" air; it's more like the air coming from a fan. And, when you are running the air conditioner, there is a very loud noise. What are some of the things that could be wrong. I recently had other work done; not on the AC, but I asked them to add anti-freeze. Every so often the low coolant light will come on. Thank you.

The anti coolant is what is added to your radiator so that the water does not freeze when the temp goes down and damage your pump. hence do not confuse this with the air conditioner. When you put on the a/c the load noise could be the engagement of the solenoid coupling your a/c compressor to the engine. If you notice within the bonnet for the gas filling inlet there must be signs of cooling. if not check over the condenser filter on the glass window for any signs of gas or gas pressure , smoky means low gas but a good pressure of gas indicates good visiblity. If not there has been a gas leak and your whole a/c system needs a check right from the compressor to the condenser to the cooling coils inside the dash. The leak has to identified by a pressure check with air filled, check for blocks before the gas can be filled. The compressor pump pressure must be checked or must be overhauled, replacement of the O rings, and reset. I hope you got an idea to proceed and hope I could help. Good day.

Why isnt cold air blowing in front cab of 2002 chevy tahoe

This could be one of two things. The air conditioner is low on freon or has a compressor problem OR the blend door on the heating unit is not moving.

The air conditioner starts blowing hot air on the driver side while the passenger side blows cold air.

1996 Chevy Tahoe air conditioning not blowing cold air

That "thing" is part of the compressor clutch. When it’s spinning the clutch is engaged, when it stops the compressor is off. If it’s constantly cycling, you probably don’t have enough freon in the system. But remember, however the gas escaped before, it will escape again, unless you fix the leak.

Air conditioner on 2002 Pontiac blowing hot air, although freon is not low...also makes a clicking noise.

Take it to a garage and have them evacuate the system and refill with refrigerant. you have air and non condensibles in the refrigerant system.

99' Chevy Tahoe Air Conditioner not working

It doesn't blow cold air? Doesn't come on at all? What's the problem? If it doesn't blow cold after a charge, it leaks. Either on the compressor or in a line or both. To start at the dealer, a compressor is about $1200. That's what they told me. I have two leaks. You can buy remanufactured compressor on ebay for under $200. Or find a good shop (polar bear around here) with reasonable prices and have them do it for something in between.

If it no air is moved at all by your climate control system, the blower motor could be fried, the switch may have gone bad or a fuse is blown perhaps. If it moves air, but not cold air, recharge it and see if it stays cold. If so, great! If not, find the leak.
