A/C is not cold
Lately my air conditioning is not getting real cold like it used to do. Even when I set it at 60 (lowest setting) the air is cool but not cold. Temps outside have been running around 60. Does outside temp readings have anything to do with the A/C or do I need to go to the dealer? Of course, if there are any suggestions you have that might save me a trip to the dealer I would appreciate your input. Thanks, Jim

However, if it's 60 degrees outside and your A/C is just running cool, it sounds to me like it's okay.

If the outside air is 60° and the car A/C thermostat is set for 60° then the electronic logic is going to pick 60° air to flow out of the vents. If the outside temp is 80° and the A/C thermostat is set at 60° then the vents will blow colder air. Your A/C is doing just what it was designed to do.
Why in the world would you want it colder than 60° in the car?

May be it's like a cold shower for him.
