Mostly filthy return air filter coils or inside fan motor failure of some sorts. Fan not blowing properly because of old slipping belt or motor overload from some source or reason. ( amprobe is nice to analyze this ).
Evaporator coils stopped up with stuff that has gotten by filter or filters or even inadequate filter size or restricted return air line going back to the unit where someone inadvertantly crawled over it doing other work in that area.
There is also the chance of Low refrigerant charge. Often A/C. Companies go straight to this one and dump some in.
Before calling in the calvary: think back!!!! hmmmmmmmm has someone been around return area duct that may have somehow smushed it. Is insulation on the inside or the outside and if on the inside could it have fallen loose and blocked return air? Then Third, Did you just install a new high efficiency super dooper filter system without expanding the pre-existing size of your return air inlet size?
Remember the more return area size for filtering the better in general. 600Feet Per Minute being optimum. If your hear that air gushing through their its over 1000 and it needs to be made bigger before you do squat especially if you have new fangled high efficiency filters.
Look at Indoor coild fan motor, if its dirty then you can bet the coild the filter is supposed to protect is filthy and needs a good cleaning to. While at cleen all outside coilds even if that means some dismantiling to do so. Be sue to cut off all power first.
Now your read to call the man with the gauges. Have him use electronic metering scales and write down before and after weights yourself. Also have him add Little Ritchie or Equivelant make Fluorescent Dye to help you find the leak in future so it can be fixed if it can't be readily found now.
Have your technician make sure the refrigerant in your system is pure by comparing its off pressrure reading after stabalizaion in off mode on both sides of system to the ambient air temperature.
If something else is in there other than what should be this will tell you pronto. Get it all out!!!!!!! immediately,,,,,, bad bad bad stuff..... to E.P.A. Recovery system in special tank it goes. Your technician will know the procedure.

It is down near the compressor, passenger side of the engine.It is down near the compressor, passenger side of the engine.
A car need to be repaired if it is smoking near the compressor. There might be something seriously wrong with the car.

The compressor relay on a 2003 Navigator is on the radiator support. It will be on the right side near the bottom of the support.
1. Is the fan and compressor on the outside (codensor unit) working? A. Thermostat switch off, set to fan only. B. Check the circuit breakers or fuses. There may also be a fuse box near the compressor. C. The control wire to the compressor is cut or broken. D. Low freon. E. Burnt out compressor. F.Capacitor( run or start)or both is bad
The 2004 Toyota Tacoma air conditioner compressor can be found on top of the engine. The air conditioner compressor will be on the left-hand side of the engine, near the front.
near the compressor on the wall of the cooling condenser
You're low on 134a freon to the point that the low pressure cut off switch (near the fire wall on the low/cold side) keeps the compressor off so it won't destroy itself. Or, the fuse on the driver's fender is out or melted - or the wire to the compressor is cut/disconnected - or the fan belt is not on the a/c compressor. Worst case if everything else is good then it could be a bad expansion valve near the evaporator (in the cabin firewall) or blockage in the line somewhere.
Follow larger hose from compressor - may be near passenger side firewall near the drier
Usually on or near the receiver/dryer. If the refrigerant level is too low, the switch will turn off and not allow the compressor to run.
