2010 Fusion SEL A/C issues

[zubrzyckir]

Hey all,

 

So last year i had an issue with my ac not working. After some digging around and posts on this forum, i noticed the pins on my resistor had melted and needed to be changed.

 

I changed the resistor (black box with the heatsink) and the blower motor as it had gone as well.

 

It was fine for the summer and didn't really use it for the winter (was working in Canada and did not need the ac)

 

I have since relocated to Texas, and last week the ac would cut off and on. I would remedy this by sticking my hand under there and wiggling the cables. This seemed to do the trick till about a few days ago.

 

My wiggle trick stopped working and so i stuck my head under there to see what has going on. I was shocked to see that the resistor pigtail/connector had totally melted.

 

I then removed the blower motor, the resistor the cut the burned pigtail off. The blower motor seemed fine and had no issues so i reinstalled that.

 

I ordered a new connector cable and spliced it in and then ordered a new resistor and installed that.

 

After about an hour of work in the hot Texas sun, i got it set up and the fan turned on and seemed to be blowing air

 

This is the second day after install and i notice it does not get that cold as it did before. i have not done any inspecting yet but it doesn't get as cold as it used to. I notice it gets colder when you hit the max a/c button, but still not to the desired temperature. When you leave it on a/c with the fan high, it doesn't really get that warm. It blows cool air.

 

 

I am not sure what could be the issue. My install seems to be holding up without any issue but that is all i have looked at. Any advise is greatly appreciated. If there is any other information needed, let me know and i will provide.

 

Thanks,

It could be low on Freon.
