Air conditioner works on high only, no air flow at all on lower settings. Priority #1 was replacing radiator. When I picked the car up after radiator work, no cold air came out at all! The vent still blew on high. Could this be related? It seems too coincidental for this to happen immediately after the radiator repair. Also, now the ADD COOLANT light is constantly on.
Are there any hoses or lines that have to be removed to get the radiator out that have to do with the air conditioner? Is removing the freon part of a radiator repair?

Hi there,

the A/c system is independent of the radiator. I would just make sure that the power wire to the compressor was not disconnected first. If the coolant light is on, you better get the system pressure tested for a leak, and if no leak is found and the coolant level is OK, replace the sensor.
