The A/C doesn’t get cold, the compressor clutch stays engaged and the fans on the radiator stay on. Freon level seems right as well. The A/C gets cool but not cold.

Hi,

This could be a few things. First, how was the Freon charge checked? That is the most common cause.

Take a look at this link:

Also, the A/C condenser is located in front of the radiator. It looks like an additional radiator. make sure it isn't dirty with debris. If it is, spray it out with a garden hose.

Here is another link you may find of interest. If discusses possible causes of an A/C not working or weak.

Let me know if any of this helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
