why does my Ford Mustang S550 (2015-2023) AC not blowing cold air anymore

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical issues.

2. Recover Refrigerant

• Connect a refrigerant recovery machine to the AC system.
• Follow the machine's instructions to safely recover the refrigerant.
• Dispose of the refrigerant according to local regulations.

3. Inspect and Replace Components

• AC Compressor:

  • Remove the serpentine belt to access the AC compressor.
  • Unbolt and disconnect the AC compressor from the mounting points.
  • Inspect the compressor for any signs of damage or failure.
  • If damaged, replace it with a new compressor.

• Cabin Air Filter:

  • Locate the cabin air filter housing, typically under the glove compartment.
  • Remove the old filter and inspect for dirt or blockages.
  • Replace with a new filter if necessary.

4. Recharge AC System

• Connect the refrigerant supply canister to the AC service ports.
• Open the canister valve and allow refrigerant to flow into the system, monitoring pressure levels.
• Ensure the system is filled to the manufacturer-recommended level.

5. Test the System

• Reconnect the battery.
• Start the engine and turn on the AC to the maximum setting.
• Check that the AC compressor engages and that cold air is blowing from the vents.
