Q: A/C wont blow cold
For some time my A/C has been blowing cold intermittently, well now it wont blow cold at all. It seems as though the AC compressor is engaging, however the condenser fan will not engage unless the electrical plug is disconnected. With the condenser fan unplugged and the fan running, it still will not get cold. I recharged the system with a bottle for Wal-Mart, nothing. HELP!!!!!!
My car has an automatic transmission.
