Word has it, I'm going to be pushed into a supervisory role, where I worked for a short stint, to suss out the same role:o, but the company weren;t willing to "cough up" the coin:(

The running joke, is who's bench have I been under, noone has been nagged to go permanent so quick (2 weeks):D

Plus building HV zone subs and Switchyards all over Vic and numerous other roles

But all that has fug all to do with your A/C and I still don;t know nuffink:)

Its not freezing is it? If the thermostat is not right in the fins, it can freeze the evaporator.
Other than that a gas leak may have tripped the low pressure switch on the dryer if the compressor suddenly stopped. If the compressor is not working bridge the terminals on the dryer and see if it starts. If it does then no gas ( or bad switch)
I have never heard of a TX valve being blocked but then I do not have much experience with aircon other than making them work well in Rangies.
I would be looking elsewhere first.
The hot air bit is usually just the adjustment of the cables to the flaps. Now I THINK an 88 has a tin box like my old 77. If so you can get at the clips which set the travel of the flaps on the side of the box, and reset them for full travel. Of course the foam seals may have disintegrated by now.

If its the TX valve its a bugger as I understand you have to drop the aircon to get at it.

This is exactly what mine does /// The A/C is blowing cold ... but ... I can feel heat coming out the side of it near the floor

Doesn't matter now tho ....cause the compressor is shot

I am trying to work out how to replace it with a Mitsi A/C as I have the full A/C & heater unit with controls from a 96 Magna

"Funny" thing happened to my NL Fairlane ....

Aircon no worky ... Took it to Auto spark ... He declares that it has plenty of gas ... and all the system is fine ... And ..yep there was plenty

So I go to Ford Dealer

They test for fault codes ... They declared .... "None"

Both say ...."It's the TX valve"



So I go home and start to RIP out the dash to get at TX valve

Ring a "travelling Aircon service man" and ask him to look at and change the valve and fill up the system

HE says ... Why don't we just empty & refill the system properly? ... before we go any further

"OK ... Give it a go .... I say's"


So the man empties & then refills it with THE CORRECT WEIGHT of gas

WELL ****** ME DRUNK ....It works like a charm

So I spent the next 2 days putting the dash back properly ;)
