1998 Dodge Stratus ABOUT THE AC

Hello,

The reason you feel the air when you drive is because of the "ram air" effect. But it sounds like you have an electrical issue. Possibly the switch, but I would definatly check if you are getting voltage to the switch, Because if the compressor is turning on you have to have some sort of voltage going to the switch, which then goes to the fan. Also if the compressor is going on you have to press the A/C button, but it doesnt illuminate until the fan speed is changed. I know that because I also drive a 1997 Dodge Stratus.

I hope this helped in some way.

P.S. If you take the switch out, you can take it to a parts store and have it tested.
