I recharge the system two months ago. Had cold air in front and rear now I get barely any cold air up front, but still cold air in the rear. My gauge shows that the system is still full. The clutch does not disengage it is on all the time unless I shut the AC off. The condenser fan runs like it is supposed to. Everything works like it is supposed to. I am just not getting cold air from the front but I am from the rear.


Thank you,
Ron Andrews

It sounds like you have a temperature blend door actuator that is out in the front AC.

Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the job:

Here is how it is on your car diagrams below.

Please let us know what you find.

Then it sounds like the compressor could be going out and has spread some seal material inside the front expansion block/orifice tube or the system is just a little low. I would try adding a little to see if it helps while watching the high side gauge, here is a guide.
