2004 RedBird with rare A/C problem

[Dino]

Hello, new in the forum. Recently bought a 2004 torch red/white hardtop TBird with 47k miles on it. Last week air conditioning from driver side flows really hot. Curiously not from the passenger side. Can’t say is cool but isn’t hot as the air from driver side. I tried diferent air flows settings but still flowing very hot air from driver side and “fresh” air from the passenger side.
Under the hood all seems to be ok. I heard an see the compressor working when turning the A/C on, belt is ok too.
Someone has had this problem? Need help with this.

I'm having the same issue on my 2005. I ordered a control panel hoping that would remedy it. The part arrives tomorrow. It was 65.00 on Ebay

You might want to search under key words "air conditioning" on this website. This is a common problem for 2002-2005 Tbirds and can require more than one solution to fix.

Good to know. I will be able to work on it next week. Hope you can resolve it with the new control panel. Tx

I had that problem with my 2003 Tbird. Would blow cool from the driver's side and hot on on passengers side. Turned out that the dual zone climate control valve was bad on the one side. Sounds like the problem you're having. hope this helps point you in the right direction
