Default Help with AC problem

I have the automatic dual zone unit, and no matter how low I set it, there is no power output of the vents. I have recharged the freon, with no change. I can hear the fan get louder, but the cold air doesn't blow out any harder. Any ideas?

Sounds like a typical vacuum leak problem. Usually caused by leaking battery acid which damages nylon vacuum lines located below or behind the battery. Check the battery for leaks.

There is a vacuum line that runs to the back of the intake- make sure you check it out, it can come out quite easily

Thanks, guys.

The battery did have an issue several years ago with a leak that damaged something to do with the HVAC system, however, this was replaced and the Optima Redtop that I have has never had problems.

I will check on the vacuum line.
