A/c issue

I have a 02 With the 5.4 and My ac is blowning nothing but hot air, the clutch on the compressor spins, it’s fully charged, and all fuses and relays work.... I don’t know what to check next

Put a thermometer in the vent. If it reads higher than ambient you are getting heat from the heater core. Clamp off any heater hoses going into the firewall and see if the air temperature drops.

If that isn't the case then you have a pressure problem in the freon loop.

feel the two air conditioner hoses / lines under the hood... one HOT, one COLD... maybe even some ice on it on a hot day... If the AC is working ( hoses hot and cold) and all you get is hot air, then your blend door is broken and all the air is going thru the heater core

If you move the temperature control from cold to hot and back again does the temperature change, or do you hear any clunks from the dash?

He hasn't returned since initially posting. Probably a "one-poster" who never follows up.

Oh well, I watched 3 YouTube videos on it and it seems like it will be a Saturday morning project for some future Saturday..... I always wanted a dremal tool anyway. Right now it will stay cold as long as i put it all the way cold and don’t mess with it. I have three other car projects ahead of it
