When i ourchased the car (180sx SR20) the Air Conditiong never worked. The AC clutch would engage every i put the AC on and it just blows hot air. The AC lines have pressure in them so i dont think there is a leak. I bought a Recharge kit from Part Source and put in new gas stuff in the AC lines. It still blows hot as before. I am wondering what else could be wrong with my AC to make it blow really hot air and not cold?? Could it be a bad AC Compressor, problem with climate control, problem with some of the AC parts under the dash?? I appreciate any help thanks ---

if you put the partsource thing in (aka redteck) and you did not evac the whole system and fill it with NEW refigerant you will need a new compressor at the least. Have fun. ---

If yours is just like the one in the picture you might want to try pushing it to cold. Just because you have AC and the button is pushed in, does not mean its actually going to blow cold air 😛 ---

I always have it on the cool side When it was rain ing today (a little cool out) i got it to blow cold air. I dont think it was AC but rather just cool air.(my car always blows hot) So i think it is an electrical problem i think i will have to pull the dash off and snoop around till i find the problem ---

I finally got around to pulling the dash off. [http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8850/dashop9.jpg](http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8850/dashop9.jpg) I am not sure what to look for. Could there be a problem with a relay, thermostat, climate control, other things. What should i look for if my car constantly blows heat no matter what is is set at??
