97' A/c

Has anyone had a problem w/their a/c .
It doesn't blow hardly @ all on high & I took the fan out & everything is fine.
@ one time I had to use the heat to get it to blow hard & then it would revert back to blowing @ a very low volume.

Just wondered if you all ran into this problem.

Thanks,

Is it the same in all positions? Does it have low volume out all the vents, defrost, floor etc?

All positions yes. It sounded like it was blowing hard but it's not.
like it's not @ full throttle etc.

Like I said I took out the fan & checked the squirrel cage & no restrictions.

I was thinking the the condenser was clogged?????????????


Thanks,

Just being nitpicky here but the condenser is the piece in front of the radiator. The piece you're talking about is the evaporator

That could be plugged or possibly the air intake which is under the wiper cowl on the passenger's side of the truck.
If your truck has a pollen filter installed it could also be plugged. Take a look at https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...B%25252Bfilter for a picture of it.

I think there is a flap that opens and closes somewhere under the dash. I wonder if that could be stuck...or your switch is bad. just my two cents
