A/C only works on defrost - SOLVED

[goodol55]

The A/C is not cooling on normal setting on the dial like recirculate, face, knees and face - the fan is working but air is not cooled. When dial is turned to last two positions on right ie defrost+feet, or 100% defrost, the air is being cooled properly.

Has anyone had this before?
If so is there a quick fix?
Could it be a simple switch playing up in the compressor or dash board maybe?
Vehicle is only 11k old

Can't get in to dealers til Thursday next week.

I had a similar prob in my XJ where it would only blow out the defroster. It was a really small pipe in the engine bay at the windscreen end. I was lucky in the sense that when I opened the bonnet and had a bit of a listen I could here it, found it and put it back where it was spose to be. Fixed the prob straight away.

Good luck!

maybe you just have a WJ thermostat trying to control a WG compressor... :P

I currently have a problem wth my air but different to yours. I constantly have a small amount of air leaking to the feet. Bloody annoying when the a/c is on and you don't want cold air at your feet. Dealer was supposed to fix it when i had the steering box replaced last week (under warranty) but "didn't get around to it" instead told me they would look at it when i bring it in for a service. Nice try as they are well aware that i don't have it serviced by Jeep so again, more farkn around

Good luck with your problem and let us know what it ended up being
