air conditioning AC takes too long

[timecop369]

Hello,

I just noticed that when I try and turn my AC on (turn EC light off on panel) that it takes a while for it to get cold. It starts off with really warm heat (I have it on 65 Auto) and then after about a minute or longer it starts to get cold. I just charged the freon this summer so I know it is full. It use to get cold right away.

Any ideas why this is?

Maybe not. I don't think that it would ever cool down then. Just to check, Look at the sight glass in the top ov the reciever dehydrator. When you turn on the AC it should go from gas to bubbles to liquid in les than a minute. Look in the repairs section. you can make the car tell you what the system pressures and temperatures are. Uses the AC readout.
