A/C Not Working Everywhere BUT The Windshield?
Its been REALLY hot lately and my A/C stopped blowing air one day? I can hear the fans going, but nothing cold/warm s coming out. The air vents under the front window do work, so I can get rid of fogging. I checked behind the controls and everything was connected correctly? What should I do next?

Vaccuum lines. If you have the cannister undone inside your bumper then it will blow like that. I would just check all of them and see what they look like

X2 vacuum lines. I replaced mine with the water line they use to connect icemakers. Was 19 cents a foot and has worked great for the past 4 months.

I had the same problem, mine ended up being a break in the tiny line that runs into the cabin that actually controls the climate stuff, the line was resting up against a coolant line and had melted, must have traced all the lines 5 times before I noticed it.

Thats funny that it does it up hill because mine does it when Im on the freeway and Im getting on the gas to pass someone. lol But when cruising it blows out the dash vents. I know I have a line that is pinched when I mover that canister from my bumper to my engine bay.

Well took it to the shop to get the air to blow out the front vents and they searched everywhere just like i did for a vacuum leak and they couldn't find one, they said something is broke behind the dash, so they quoted me $480 just to take the dash out and find whats wrong. thats not including the part......so im having them do it.
