A/C not working and CEL
02 Navigator...
Earlier today my wife noticed the A/C was coming out of the defrost. No matter what we did, it only will come out of there. I then noticed after coming out of the store, that my CEL (Check Engine Light) is on. I'm sure these two are related, but is there any way I can try to figure this out without taking it to the shop?$$?? I could really use the help as it will be in the 90's all week.
Thank you all,
Sam

If I had to guess I would say that it is vaccume related. If the CEL is for a lean condition then look for a broken vaccume line around the battery. I only say this if the problems are truely related as the vents use engine vaccume to operate. Let us know.

Never mind checking...IT"S FIXED!!!
Thank you Luzer, I opened the hood and listened for a hissing sound. There it was. It cost me a whopping 52 cents for the hose to fix it.
Does the CEL go off on its own or will I have to have it cleared? Can I clear it myself if it doesn't go away on its own?
Thanks again!!!

I'll just wait.
I was SO worried that it was something big and cost less than a dollar! I have a $500 registration to pay this month and was freaking. Thank you so much!
Is there a donation link for this website? I feel like I should give back.

Most of the large Auto Parts Store chains will read and clear your code for free. Advance Auto did it as soon as I asked, PeP Boys wanted me to leave the vehicle. Glad your problem was easily solved - cost me a dash switch when nothing but the defroster vents worked.
If I could ask - where does it cost $500.00 to reregister this vehicle? I'd like to avoid that state.
