Default A/C ?

Just turned 158K and the A/C has never been serviced. It works fine but since I'm getting the vehicle inspected next month I was wondering if I should get it done or if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Only thing I would say is clean the condensor coils (and radiator). I used some regular engine degreaser (Gunk, the "foamy" one") and it came out pretty black the first time I rinsed it.

Other than that....leave it alone I would say (if everything works well)

Examine the Blower Resistor Block connector to see if it's smoked. Pull the Resistor block and see if there's critter nesting materials on it.


It's too much of a PITA to check the Blower Speed Switch connector but it's probably near smoked.
