    A/C clutch noise? Or Compressor bad? Video included

    My A/C started making noise and not working all the time. There's a noise when the A/C is OFF and a somewhat similar noise when it's running. There is cold air when it's working. I took pressure readings and it fluctuates between about 15-45 on the low side when cycling off/on and I think...

    Side front vents, no airflow

    Hi, hoping someone will have an idea what I should check? I have a 2009 Grand Touring that has no air flow from the front side vents on the instrument panel. The two inside ones adjacent to the radio/CD player work fine. Does anyone have suggestions to what may be restricting the air flow? Thanks!

    I noticed today that there was air coming out of the dash vents below the stereo when I had my climate control fan set at ZERO. The light was still on for outside air to come in too. I hadn't noticed before that this light was on when I had the fan off. I was sure that it all shut off when the...

    Air Conditioner cuts out after 15 minutes

    My 02 Protege 5 air conditioner quits blowing cold after about 15 minutes. I took it to the dealer and they said the freon was low, serviced the ac for about $130 and 15 minutes later it was blowing hot again. Dealer is obviously clueless and doesn't care.

    Mazda5 - A/C Suddenly Erratic (Mostly Doesn't Blow Cold Air - Then Suddenly Does)

    I have a Mz5 2008 with approx. 75,000 miles on it. The A/C has always worked very well. Suddenly today at 88 degree F it got erratic. It stopped blowing cold air (just ambient temp air instead) most of the time. As soon as we were convinced the A/C was absolutely dead - then it would give us a...
