2007 Entourage A/C
 

My wife's 2007 Entourage w/ 40,000 miles suddenly developed an A/C
problem. Two days ago, the A/C was working fine and yesterday morning
it was blowing nothing but hot air. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Bill

Suggestion? Go see your dealer. The AC charge is covered for 1 year.
While it may be the charge lost, it could be something electrical, like the
compressor clutch or a switch. That should be covered from what I read.

Check the A/C fuse in the underhood fuse block. 2006 and newer
Hyundai models have an increased frequency of problems with compressor
clutch field coils having insufficient resistance. If the fuse is
blown, the resistance of the coil is probably too low. Okay to
replace the fuse to get the A/C working temporarily again, but there's
no telling how long it'll remain cooling. If you do replace the fuse,
save the old one and take the van (and blown fuse) to the dealer for
warranty service. Be sure to explain to them them the symptoms and
which fuse you needed to replace.
