This is one of Toyota's dirty little secrets! The '98 Toyota Avalon was sold with a known defective A/C Amplifier. They issued a Technical Service Bulletin on December 3, 1999 #AC005-99 on this exact defect. = A/C int. INOP = Ambient Temperature light INOP = Fresh/Recirc Light INOP = Mode Indicator Light INOP = Blower INOP Toyota put a footnote on the TSB that "Warranty application is limited to correction of a problem based upon a customer's specific complaint." Which means the service department will not tell you about the problem. You have to be a expert and tell them what the problem is. The biggest scam is that this is an intermittent problem and unless it is not working when you bring it in they will tell you they can't duplicate the concern. Shame, shame, shame on Totota! The fix is a new A/C Amplifier, new Inlet Servo Motor, and new Servo Link. All told, including labor, this will cost you over $1,000 Of course, now that you know what the cause of the problem is... they will deny the fix because the vehicle is out of warranty. Many of us have been down this road! Just remember who screwed you next time you go to buy a car.

Why is your air conditioner blowing air but not cold?

If the air conditioner is not new it could have stopped blowing cold air because of several different things, too many to list here. Here are couple of possible reasons: all the refrigerant gas has leaked away; a pump has stopped working; someone else turned the temperature control to a higher temperature...? The best advice anyone can give you is to call a licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technician to fix it for you.

You will definitely need to recharge your air conditioning system when it stops blowing cool air. You should recharge the system at least once a year.


You have an 96 Ford Taurus and the air conditioning stopped blowing cold air?

Diagnosing air conditioning is rather complicated - from not enough refrigerant to fuses & relays, to a compressors not kicking in.This is one of those parts of the vehicle that a professional mechanic can end up saving you lots of time, and wasted $$'s replacing perfectly good parts.There is one thing though that can also cause warm air conditioning: a problem with the temperature controls.See "Related Questions" below for much more about this somewhat common Taurus/Sable problem.


Air conditioner doesn't turn off?

If the air conditioner is not new it could have stopped blowing cold air or won't turn off because of several different things, too many to list here. Here are couple of possible reasons: someone else turned the temperature control to a lower temperature than it can cool the air in the room down to? All the refrigerant gas has leaked away or a compressor pump has stopped working but the main fan is still running? If you can't get it to work properly just by turning the temperature control to a higher temperature then the best advice anyone can give you is to call a licensed Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) technician - who will have all the right tools and test equipment and will know how to use it - to test your air conditioning unit and fix it for you.
