If it wasn&#8217;t fully moving towards the cold side it wouldn&#8217;t make cold air, but it was working. I finally lifted the van to check out the lines, and found the cause. The rear A\/C lines had been cut off and then capped. I assume this is because the rear lines were leaking and a previous owner hadn&#8217;t wanted to spend hundreds of dollars getting them replaced, and the cheaper solution is to make it a front-only system. Because of this, to get rear A\/C again they&#8217;ll have to replace the rear lines as well as the lines that go into them, because that&#8217;s what got cut and capped off.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>New blog posts every Monday and Thursday, plus pictures throughout the week on <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mech_malarkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/mechanicalmalarkey\">Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Mechanical Malarkey <a href=\"https:\/\/mechanicalmalarkey.com\/merchandise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">T-shirts, hats, and stickers<\/a> are available to order!<\/p>\n<p>-Dan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was trying to figure out why a Chrysler Town &amp; Country didn&#8217;t have any air conditioning in the rear.
