Why is my GMC Acadia not blowing cold air?
Why is my GMC Acadia not blowing cold air?
AC is not blowing COLD air. There is an ond and off hissing sound from the center of the dash. I can hear and see the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging. I put a gauge on the freon low pressure side and it goes up and down as the compressor cycles. Using an infrared thermometer gun I tested the vents.
Why are the vents not working on my Acadia?
Front dash HVAC vents not working (and, what is this wire?) There’s no/little air coming from the front dash vents on my wife’s 2011 Acadia regardless of how the system is set. After doing some research, I’ve tried resetting the HVAC system by temporarily pulling the fuse.
Why is my AC unit blowing hot air?
Here’s what happened. 1. Started car one day and the AC unit was “dead”, did not light up. 2. The AC unit worked later that day, in that it was blowing air…however, now it’s acting crazy. The driver side vents are blowing cool (not cold) and the passenger side is blowing HOT.
Why are the vents on my GMC AC not working?
Using an infrared thermometer gun I tested the vents. When it was 90+ outside the vents were blowing 80 on recirculate & full max cold. When I shut down the cold the air from the vents shot up to 115. I checked later in the day when it was cooler. It was about 75 outside and the vents were blowing 50.
One of the most inconvenient vehicular problems is when the A/C won’t blow cold air. If your GMC Acadia isn’t keeping you cool, we’ve outlined some of the most common reasons why this might be happening.
How does the heater work on a GMC Acadia?
At the simplest level possible, the heater works by passing hot coolant from the engine into a tiny radiator called the heater core. At this point, the blower motor blows air across the it and the newly heated air blows on to the driver and passengers. If the heater has stopped working in your Acadia, this process has failed in one way or another.
Is the Acadia heater and air conditioner the same?
The only thing that the air conditioning system has in common with the heater is that they both use the climate controls and the blower motor. It is entirely possible for your Acadia’s heater to work just fine even when the air conditioner is not blowing cold at all.
Why does the rear AC blow warm air?
I have heard of that issue on another acadia also. There are a few things you can do. Try turning the temperature control of rear system and see if it blows hot air when you turn it to full hot position. If that works, please reply back and there is a quick diagnosis that you can do to figure out the problem.
What is the temperature of the AC in a GMC Acadia?
I purchase my Acadia a couple of weeks ago and while traveling with some friends I used the rear ac and the air that it was blowing was like outside temperature. It was about 80 degrees outside and my ac temperature settings were at 65.
Where is the leak on a GMC Acadia?
Common leak areas on these vehicles include the A/C condenser (located in front of the radiator), and the evaporator (located inside the dash, and requires complete removal of the interior dash to replace it).
Why is my air conditioner not working in my GMC Acadia?
Consult the appropriate vehicle Service Information (SI) for detailed HVAC Description and Operation: • Ambient Air Temperature is too low (if equipped with Ambient Air Temperature Sensor) • Vehicle voltage less than 9.5 volts • Refrigerant Pressure too low • Refrigerant Pressure too high • EngineCoolantTemperature too high • Engine is not in RUN

Why does my GMC Acadia make a hissing noise?
The hissing noise and constant cycling of the compressor clutch are indicators of that. You should recover the system, record how much refrigerant was recovered, evacuate the system (with a vacuum pump), add A/C dye, and recharge the system to capacity.
