Well, thanks Scotty. I dodged a bullet with this one. I got home from work and attached the can of AC Pro, set the AC to Max, and let her rip. It was definitely low of juice. After 5 minutes the can was empty and all the vents were now blowing COLD ICY AIR!!! Whew! No taking apart the dash for me thank God! Also, I noticed as you had said, my temp gauge went down with the AC on Max too. Thanks everyone for all the help. No more sweating for me in the GP!
I guess I spoke too soon! I get downstairs this morning and hit the AC Control and the passenger side is ice cold but the driver's is still running warmer. Big difference though from before, just not as cold as the other side. So I guess I'll be under the dash this weekend!
Was it up to the proper charge pressure for the ambient temp? When I got mine to spec, the drivers side ended up slightly cooler than the passenger side, go figure...
From Msg #18 "UPDATE 2: Refrigerant was low, recharged, now the with the same parameters as above I have 38º from drivers center outlet and 40º from the passenger center outlet. Why the drivers side is now cooler than the passenger side is a mystery.I'm just happy it's cold air that's coming out for cheap!
Two 12 oz cans did it.
So what seemed to be a blend door problem, wasn't."
Yep, I set the ambient temp gauge and it was at the proper charge, but at the "low end" of the spectrum. The can was empty at that point. At the instant I finished, both sides were blowing cold with the passenger side just a smidgen colder. I never sat for an extended period of time though. I just shut it off and went upstairs. I may need another can to get to the higher end of the scale.
