Hi guys, as the title says, I have a 1998, with the 6 in it, and I have a problem with the A/C. I have not touched the A/C or replaced anything on it since I bought my Jeep. It has always worked perfectly.
Today I started up my Jeep, turned the air on and drove it for about 10 mins with no problems. Suddenly, I noticed the air wasn't blowing cold anymore. In addition to the air warming, I could smell a odor in relation to the air shutting off (Note: It was not a burning smell, just a weird smell when you shut off the air conditioning but keep the fan blowing). Well after about 10 seconds or so of driving, the air came back on ice cold again. It did this about 3 times or so during a 20-25 min drive.
Could this be a symptom of a faulty cycling switch? Or perhaps the system is losing freon? If so why would it work perfect, shut off, then return? Any input would be greatly appreciated. It's way too hot to not have good working air! Thanks guys!
