2004 AC issues

Post by BLUDICE »

So driving to Wally World this morning and all of the sudden hot air started coming out of the AC vents - so I hit all the buttons- no change - so I just turned the d#@& thing off and did my shopping - return to the car and the AC started working again - now I have to add that I’ve only owned this car a month now so I don’t have a clue what’s been done to the car maintenance wise. Any advise besides low coolant as a reason this happens

Did not happen with the 04 'bird I had but did happen with the '04 Merc Monterrey. One of the motor controllers for air routing was intermittently failing. As you describe, driving along just fine and suddenly hot air. Sometimes came back after pushing buttons some times not. A/C freon level was always OK. Not sure where these are located in the Thunderbird.

Best, Vince
