Re: 2001 ssei blowing hot air when ac is on
Might just need to recharge it further, especially if the passenger side blows colder (or "less warm") than the driver's side. This would be the classic sign of being low on refrigerant.

Re: 2001 ssei blowing hot air when ac is on
Check to see if it is blowing hot on both the passenger and the driver side. If only blowing hot on one side, you may have a bad actuator.

See that hole in the ozone right above you? Ha sounds like you have a pretty good leak to lose 2 cans within a week.candimann31 wrote:it is blowing hot on both sides if its set at 60 its warm 90 is hot but it wont get cold it was fine till 2 days ago and when i recharged it last week it took 2 cans and it was ice cold

Bad actuator or huge leak one or the other. 2 cans should blow real old for sure, min had a slow leak and I would have to put a third can in it half way through summer, for 3 cans per year it wasn't worth the $1000+ they wanted to fix. I thought redtek and similar brands were ozone friendly these days?
