A/C Problem
I have a 2001 4.0 v6 ranger 4x4 that just recently started having A/C troubles, the A/C still works but has started blowing not so cold air, a couple weeks ago the air was cold not cool, now it is just cool and I imagine next up is warm air blowing. Any ideas? Is the low side pressure port on this model located on the compressor? or is it somewhere else? Not sure what I should be checking I have a recharge kit and hooked up the pressure gauge to the port on the compressor yesterday with the engine running and A/C on high, at idle it was fluctuating between 25 and i think aroudn 45 as the compressor would cycle on and off any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Kris

Have a look in this forums "Tech Info" thread, located atop the forums thread listing page & scroll down to the Misc, section, click on the "blend door repair" & see if this sounds like it might fit your problem.

That link is down, cannot view the contents, did find from the tech info section that I was hooked up to low pressure side port, can someone explain what the Blend door does and some common issues?
Thanks A bunch

Here are a couple of links, with photos, about the blend door fix.

The blend door is used by the HIVAC system to blend cool & hot output air to the cabin. A common problem when air temp can't be controlled is with a plastic part, that moves the blend door, breaking.
Doing a search for "blend door fix" will turn up plenty of thread links on the subject, as it's a comon problem.
