Q: middle A/C not working
My air conditioning isn't working properly. The top and bottom A/C are working fine - the top blowing at the window and the bottom blowing at the feet. But the one in the middle that is blowing at the passenger side is not working. It will turn on randomly but only for that time. If I turn off the car it will stop working again. Do you have any idea what might be wrong?
