A/C not working

Well thats it im not sure what is wrong with it because when the air conditioner is running it blows out good cold air and the controls up front work good as far as low medium and high. It just shuts off while were driving down the road while I have the ac set on high. But while the ac isnt working the heater doesnt work either. U can kinda feel cold air through the air vents as you drive down the road but other than that it kind of just works when it wants to.

My heater isn't working properly. It will only blow out heat when I am accelerating. If I slow down or stop it will blow out cold air. I was wondering what could be wrong?

Thank you! I will have my boyfriend check that out!

I have a 2002 Dodge Stratus 2.4, dohc. The air conditioner only blows hot air out of the defrost even when I have the **** turned to blow out the feet on the face. I used to be able to hit the control head and it would start working and now that doesn't work at all. I was hoping it would just be the control head ( I guess that's what it's called, the thing where the ****s are) so I could just go to the junk yard and get that part. Any suggestions?

I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus SE. My ac/heat will only work on high. What's the problem?

I read Jess' answer to the a/c & fan only working on high.I have the same problem with my '02 Dodge Stratus. Is changing this switch within the control something the average shadetree mechanic can do, or should it be left to the professionals?

I have a 2001 4cyl. Stratus. The ac and heat only work on the high setting. Also, the CD player has stopped working and the radio hesitates to come on and change stations. Can someone tell me what is wrong and is it complicated to fix.

I am not a mechanic, but have worked my cars for years and I am still learning, especially with all the new.

I think you should check the A/C and heating control panel for default, since it only works on high settings.

You can probably find one at a low cost parts house.

The CD/radio, hey you can buy low cost CD players all day long, I would just replace, because you probably pay too much to have the stock CD player repaired.

An easy fix to your a/c & heat working only on HI is your blower motor resistor. It has nothing to do with your controls - I have replaced 3-4 resistors in my 98. Its located on the passenger side along side the blower motor. Theres 2 screws and a wiring harness on it. I ended up having to replace my blower motor also, because it was getting too old, and creating resistance, thus blowing the resistor for a while.

As far as your radio. Ive known a few people with this problem also, and we could never find a fix.

Good luck!

Air Conditioning problem
2001 Dodge Stratus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My Air Conditioner in my car has recently stopped working in the low position. However it does work on the medium high to high what causes this problem and is it relatively cheap to fix? Does it also require professional work to be done?

My stratus a/c will run for about 15 to 20 seconds when I first turn on the a/c switch then the compressor turns off for about a minute or two and then runs for 15 to 20 seconds again. It will keep doing this and I can feel a little cool air from the vents at first but not much. I have checked the charge and it is within normal range when the compressor is running but it won't run long enough to get a real accurate reading. When I first start the car in the morning the a/c will run much longer and I can feel the difference in the air from the vents but then it starts the short cycles again. I have been trained in automotive repair but have not worked on any of the newer cars in over 15 years so I am familiar with the operation but not the specifics on this model.

AC works for about 30 seconds, blows cold air, then blows hot air like from outside (FL), for about 3 minutes. Then cold for another 30 seconds. Have already changed a clogged piece in the ac system, found one of the cooling fans not working, replaced both. Still not helping. HELP !
