Ac blows warm air after it cool the cabin

This spring I charged the ac in my 1999 Dodge Durango. Ever since, as soon as the ac cools the passenger compartment in starts to blow warm then hot air. If I shut it off and leave it alone for a long while it will start to cool again. Why and how do I fix this?

My Durango did the same and it was a high pressure switch bad. If you stand at the front of vehicle it is located on the left side next to the radiator support by the radiator. There is a rubber flap you may have to lift to see it. Switch was a dealer item $ 40.00 I have not had no more problem out of it.
Mine would cycle on and about the time it would get cold the compressor would shut down, it may start a little later or it may be the next day before it would get cold again and then would shut down.

2004 Tahoe ac only blows cold from drivers vent. Passenger and back seat blows hot.

This problem is a low freon charge in the system. ... But a system that is 1/2 pound low will cause the passenger side vents to blow cool or cold air, and the drivers side to be less cool or even warm on this car. There is simply not enough freon capacity in the system to cool the air to the drivers side. https://www.justautorepair.com/buick/century/cool-passenger-warm-driver

AC BLOWING WEAK

If your A/C is blowing weak:

1st: make sure you have the fan up all the way, and you're A/C is on the MAX selection. If it's on Normal A/C it will blow lightly even with the fan up as far as it will go - however - if your heater blows strongly, but he A/C on MAX does not - you may need to replace the blower motor (usually installed on the passenger side, on the rear firewall, or under the dash on the passenger side (near heater core).

Also consider the fact that the engine has to work a little harder to operate the A/C pump, as it is having to cool the air faster (on normal); it is recommended that while driving, to run A/C on MAX as the A/C pump doesn't work as hard to cool the air - and does not use as much gas.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4. The a/c runs great as long as the truck is moving, but as soon as you come to a stop it starts blowing warm air. Please help.

Generally if the a/c works fine at highway speeds but kicks out or slowly begins to blow warmer and warmer air as the vehicle is driven at slow speeds or is stopped the a/c condensor cooling fan is usually at fault. At highway speeds there is enough air being forced through the radiator, condenser, and oil coolers to keep everything working and cool but when the vehicle is moving slowly or is parked the electric and mechanical cooling fans have to be working to pull enough air through to keep things working. If the cooling fan isn't working or can't pull enough air through the a/c condensor the system will kick out once the internal pressure reaches a certain point. Once the vehicle is moving again the system can get rid of the heat that it has gathered from the passenger cabin, the pressure drops back to normal and the system cools again. I would start by looking for a blown cooling fan fuse in the fuse panel under the hood. Usually they are 25 amps or larger and run only the cooling fan.

Impala has dual climate control. AC blows cold on

with a dual climate control system, it is imperative for a proper refrigerant charge to be maintained. the symptom you describe is a possible indicator of low charge on the system. the ac evaporator core is closest to the right side of vehicle thereby making air feel cooler on that side, on the left side of the vehicle the cooled air has farther to travel and warms up from cabin air before it discharged from the vents. this is the most probable issue for your vehicle...however if the charge is accurate, the issue would be more so in the air temperature doors which is located deep inside the dash...i hope this helps...good luck!
