Wondered if anyone has encountered this...
My A/C quit and after numerous attempts,new compressor,evap.leaks afterwards,now my A/C blows cool out of outer vents and warm on centre!!
Mechanic is a decent guy and is really stumped!
Any thoughts?Even up here in Canada it gets quite warm!!

Hey I talked to the guys at the dealership I work at and they said they had seen this problem once before. Beleive it or not they said that the car is a little low on freon. Don't ask why the outside vents will blow just cold but they said it took them about half a day of messing with the car to figure it out. See if your care is low on freon.
