Trying To Maintain My Cool Here!!!!

[vee93]

*&%#@!!!!
If it's not one thing it's another!!!! It's a relatively small thing, yet it bugs me just the same. Okay...,

Got my A/C fixed--AGAIN. A pressure regulator failed.

NOW the COOL button on my AECC unit is stuck at 78 degrees. It was 98 here in Mississippi today---ya feelin me!?!!! The button used to raise the temp works fine--which is how I got stuck with A/C blowing at 78 degrees---BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THE LOW-TEMP BUTTON WASN'T GONNA WORK!!!! It WAS working before this latest A/C fix. Now what? Is this like when the buttons go out on the tv remote control. Has heavy-handedness on the tech's part goofed up the button? If so, it's a fix for the shop that did the A/C work. Pulling the fuses to reset the system didn't fix the problem. Any answers, ideas and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Wow! ad Blue fire! Yeeeehaaaaa! Blue, my favorite color.

Seems the first stop is back at the shop, explaining that the button worked when the car came in, but not when it came out. I doubt those delicate little fingers, the ones behind the Dudette rage, LOL, broke it! :L

I don't fix my stuff that others broke, unless they're family or I have broken their legs....or both!

Here's a short history:
When I first bought the car, the compressor was is pieces. Fixed. Cool. Got side-swiped. Just about everything up front got fixed. However, bodyshop lunkheads used wrong airbox screws, which in turned screw up the condenser. Fixed. Cool. Then, a pressure regulator blows/fails. Fixed. Cool. Now button to lower temp no worky. Not so cool, but tolerable. Just bugs me. Hey, I'm a Corvette owner, I'm just persnickety that way!

Oh, they know me at the shop. They're A/C wizards. And nosiree, I DID NOT break the button. I was not uhm..., tense, at the time of discovery.

Right on - My head unit in my 96 ususally takes a few miles of driving before it will respond.

I bought a new head unit on ebay last fall just in case the buttons are still slow to respond when I finally get up under the driver's dash and check the vacuum lines for the AC system.
From what I have read, they get loose and you eventually lose control over what vents the air comes out of. (I also have that problem, it all comes out of the floor and windshield vents).
SO I know I at least have to tighten up the Vac lines down there.

Keep us posted on what your AC shop guys say - btw, what part of MS are you in?
(in case I need someome to look at mine after Im thru tinkering)

Thanks

I would love to help, but I have the cheap style A/C. I would have the shop fix it or you can take the dash apart and fix it yourself. It just depends on how much time and skill you have.
