Why does my car AC only work for a few minutes?
There are several possible causes of a vehicle’s air conditioning system to stop working after being on for only a few minutes. Basically the causes are either the A/C evaporator is getting too cold and icing up or there’s an electrical problem causing an open circuit.
When I turn the AC on my car dies?
It may be from low power to the computer, a faulty fuel pump due to bad connection, or a low battery. The blower fan draws a lot of current, perhaps that is dropping the voltage suddenly and causing some electrical component in the ignition system or the anti theft system to shut down the car.
Why does my car AC randomly blows hot air?
A car A/C blowing hot air is often the result of a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is a liquid that circulates through your car’s A/C system, expanding and contracting as it removes heat and humidity from the cabin. None of the other A/C components will function correctly without proper refrigerant levels.
When did Subaru H6 air conditioner start leaking?

How often should a Subaru air conditioner be serviced?
The newer Ac systems (2005 and up) are smaller than they have been previously and even just a slightly low charge can affect the performance. Typically speaking we only think about the Ac system when it isn’t working correctly, but the reality is, it really should be serviced at least every 4 years.
Why does my air conditioner not work at 60 mph?
Driving down the road at 60 mph brings in a rush of air that may feel cool to you, just like standing in front of a box fan in your house provides some temperature decrease. But if the ac doesn’t actually feel cold there is a problem. When the ac system is in fact not performing as it should a diagnoses must be performed.
