Good morning everyone,
I am a 49 lady who doesn't want to specialize in A/C repair on my 2013 Expedition. I am hoping that one of you here will be able to help me save money and time in getting my A/C repaired that just stopped working yesterday. I am somewhat handy so don't mind doing some basic troubleshooting if required.
I tend to leave my A/C blasting all times as it is usually stinking hot most of the time (yes, I know I shouldn't leave it on all the time). So yesterday jump in the car, turn it on, enjoy the A/C, start driving then smell a horrible, strong gaseous smell of burning or ultra hot rubber, plastic and some other mystery smell fills my nose. Roll down the window thinking something crazy is going on in the car park, seems to be only inside my car then the A/C stops working - the digital display shows the A/C on and fans on high but no more A/C action.
Please help, our family is strapped for cash and I hope to heck I can fix thing issue for minimal cost.
PS - The car has had a easy life with only around 23,000 miles and regular servicing. Has rust and paint damage from the car sitting next to sprinklers or something for couple years before I bought it (which I only mention as this might have prematurely damaged some components?)
Mahalo,
