Attention: TDR Forum Junkies My dads 1994 aerostar is giving him issues with the A/C. He uses it as a work vehicle (panel van style) and uses it daily with no working A/C (90*+ temps outside)
It blows warm/hot air through the vents so he went and bought the do it yourself kits to re-charge the A/C. He charged up the system as best as to what he knows how to as it was his first time trying. And it still blows hot air..... now he was messing with a plug that controls the a/c compressor and when he unplugged it to check the connection and plugged it back in it blew the 20amp fuse under the dash. And has blown several fuses since then messing around with it. Still no cool air and the compressor will turn on for only maybe 30 seconds after putting a new fuse in and then it blows the new fuse.
His system seems to be holding the freon or whatever it may be it just doesn't seem to be pumping it through the system and into the van.
I know absolutly nothing about A/C units so if someone could guide me into trouble shooting this issue that would be great. I feel sorry for my old man having to drive with no A/C and this summer heat. He really can't afford to take it in and have a shop charge him for their service.
