Default Heater and AC problems!!!


My moms 94 accord lx has some issues. Recently the ac stopped working so we took it and had the system recharded. like 2 months later the ac stoped again. now when the vent is on there is very hot air that comes out of the vent almost like the heater is on. so what should i do to stop all that hot air and get the ac working again?
TIA

I don't know '94s, but I imagine there's a cable from the temperature dial to the heater valve. Maybe that cable's broken or disconnected, with the valve stuck open. Gotta take it apart & see what's broken...

Have your mom's car A/C system leak checked at a certified shop.

does it have the twist style ****, those are notorious for breaking. The heater core might not be closing all the way, causing the ac to be warm.
