Good day all,

I have a very low mileage 88GT (7000 miles) and my A/C is not blowing cold anymore. Last year, it was blowing very cold and then I stored it for the winter. Mid winter, we had some nice warm weather, so I fired up the Mustang and let it warm up for 30 minutes or so. During this time, I ran all accessories to ensure they are working fine. I also ran the A/C to test it. I do remember switching from full heat to A/C at one time, if that has anything to do with it? None the less, it has lots of air blowing through the vents but it is NOT cold. Any ideas....I am not going to convert to R134a either.

Thanks

Just curious why it would need recharging if the car is never used? Also, is hard to recharge, as I have limited mechanical skill.

Check the clutch cycling switch on the top of the dryer unit to see if it's shot. Saved me a recharge for sure.

o rings can still get hard and brittle from age and start to leak. I replaced all mine, recharged it and it works great.
