AC Question

Air cond is blowing hot. Snowflake button flashes. Manual says it does this when the ac cannot operate, but it doesn't give a reason or solution. Any ideas? Thanks

Previous Owner

I am the previous owner of the car in question. The A/C had always worked properly. Before the current owner picked up the car, I put a new Delco battery in. Now the A/C is not operating. Are there some actuators or something that has to be reset when the battery is out of the car for a certain period of time? When he pulls the codes, there will probably be many, being that the old battery went dead. When you try to start these cars with a low battery, all kinds of codes can appear. I am only mentioning this because some of you have requested codes. I am offering this info because I am concerned, and would never let anyone have taken my car if I knew the A/C was not working. I know it worked before the battery change. Any similar coincidences between A/C & battery change?
