A/C Blows Hot Air

[Motorhead]

I've got an '06 VCA Edition with 2200 hundred miles and all of a sudden, the A/C started blowing hot air.

I can't believe the unit needs to be recharged already. Could it be somthing else?

Thanks!

You might have a FREON leak in your compressor seals (or the compressor itself) or AC lines perhaps. Also your compressor might have had a complete failure if it is blowing only hot air.

They can refill with freon and add dye which should let you where the leak is if any.

Could be a defective water shut off valve. Regardless needs to be diagnosed by a competent HVAC tech. Ship it up and I'll check it out. Good luck.

Does your compressor engage, does the plumbing get hot or cold. Could be a fuse.

Same thing happended to my '06 around 2,500 miles. The body control module (BCM) had to be replaced. Good luck.

Ugh!

Was the BSM defective? What else does the BCM control?

Just picked up my 06 coupe from service at Buhler Dodge today. Replaced A.C. compressor and car has 1200 miles.

It is under warranty right?

Oh yeh. Got the 7yr Extended Warrantee. What the heck is going on with A/C units having problems or needing to be replaced? Is this a common 2006 problem?

Now that it's getting cooler here, and sunny, dry days at a premium, I'll putting it away for the winter in another month. I'm tempted to wait and take it to the dealer next spring. I've also have a faulty tire pressure sensor that needs replacing.

My a/c was intermittent. Took the Tech a couple days to diagnose. It was only a defective BCM. The BCM controls various electronic functions such as the courtesy lights, seatbelt warnings, etc. I believe the BCM controls the HVAC control panel....

Let us know what you find out about yours....

No issues here to date. 9,500 miles on my 06 and the AC still freezes me out of the car. I hope the heater works though, I have never checked that and I plan to keep driving right on through the winter.

My 04 did the same thing about a month or so ago. I had a blown fuse. Since I replaced the fuse I haven't had any other issues....
