- 2012 Ford Fiesta SE
Hello,
I live in Texas where it is over 100° right now every day. On Monday, my A/C worked fine. I drove for 2 hours without an issue. When I drove home from work on Tuesday, the A/C vents were blowing very hot on my face. I thought that A/C had gone out. When I drove to work on Wednesday morning, I still felt warm air blowing on my face. So I went to feel all the vents and the vents on the passenger side were blowing cold. Only the driver's side was blowing hot. I was encouraged, but it is cooler in the morning. When I drove home tonight, it was 103° and it was blowing hot in my face. I felt the passenger side and it was blowing cooler on that side. Not cold, like in the morning, but cooler. So it is blowing colder on the passenger side, it just didn't seem like it could keep up in this heat. Even in 100°+ it normally can keep up given enough time.
My question is if there is a reason one side of the car would blow colder than the other and it is fixable? Or is this just a sign that I need to get more refrigerant or a deeper look at my A/C? I don't have split climate control. Just standard A/C for 2012 Ford Fiesta SE, American version. Any tips/tricks/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
