HELP! My AC stopped blowing

Hey fellas earlier this spring when it started getting hot I noticed my A/C wasn’t getting cold. I assumed I had a slow leak since I had my A/C charged last year. I had the service station charge it and it was cold. A couple weeks ago I noticed my A/C stopped getting cold and then the blower would intermittently run slow or not run at all. Now the fan doesn’t blow at all. I got up this morning to trouble shoot and noticed my condenser had what appears to be a leak. Would no coolant cause the fan to not come on at all? or do I have permanent damage? If I replace the condenser and recharge the system will it start running again or maybe not? Thanks for any help in advance.

The fan should run no matter what. If the freon gets low the ac compressor will not come on but the blower fan should still work!

Your fan issue could be the switch or motor itself but most likely the blower motor control module / resistor thats acting up.............

Considering that the fan stopped blowing intermittently…. sometimes it would come on and sometimes it would stop on its own. Towards the end I would turn it on and nothing would happen and then a few minutes later it would just turn on by itself… Does that sound like it would be the control module/resistor? Thanks for the followup

Years ago my truck did the same. Checked and found a burned connection at the motor. Modified the connections and it has worked continuously ever since.

Hey guys just a follow up… I replaced the control module resistor because it was easy and cheap….. didn’t fix it…. I hooked up a new motor to the plug before I pulled the old one… that was it! I replaced it and enjoyed cold air all day. It’s the little things in life! Thanks for the help gents. Have yourself a beer tonight on me
