Default C5 A/C issues
Problem: only warm air blows

One day working fine, then it wasnt. I put the AC gauges to work and all pressures seem normal nothing unusual. Compressors spins when placed on. Additionallly Ive noticed that when I press "AUTO" it stays on for a very short while then reverts to "Manual"?? Fan stays on HIGH Outside air temp sensors seems to be reading normal temp. Could it be the control panel? Is there a way to test that? Im really happy its cold here in Jacksonville.

Does it have any codes. There is a section for HAVC.

What do you mean by cold there? What temps are you looking at while trying to run the AC?

Cold in Jacksonville as in I don't need my AC today. Outside air temp reads the correct temp

What I meant was that the AC will not turn on if its in the mid 40"s, thats all. Thus the question. How cold , is relative to where you live.
