    From what I’ve learned there may be air in the system. You can rent to tool or take it to a shop and have them remove all the air from the system.

    • @unlistedvideo2164
      @unlistedvideo2164 Pƙed rokem +10

      You are correct. Air in the system. But the system is a closed system, which means air was introduced from a part that is leaking. You cannot remove the air without fixing the leak. Mine was a condenser leak. But there are a few different ac parts that can cause this. Find your leak, get your system pressure tested or color dye tested to confirm, replace part, refill ac refrigerant. But find a way that will work for you and save you money.

    Had the same issue on my 2016 grand Cherokee summit . Had it to the shop 3 times and they replaced the condenser and didn’t fix it
. Couldn’t spend any more $$$$$ on professionals to guess what the problem is so I used a smoke machine from amazon the I paid about $100 for and connected it to the low pressure side and surprise!!! The AC compressor had a leak behind the clutch
. Easy replacement and took it to a nice guy to pressure test and refill the system. No more issues

      Definitely something behind the dashboard. They don’t wanna have to take the dashboard out just for a $100 diagnosis fee or for free to look for the problem. I’m almost 100% sure it’s the ducts being partially blocked aka closed from blend door problem. It will hiss. If that happens Your ac or heat won’t be working their best.

    Mine was doing that, then would stop, then start again. I got barely cold air. That hissing is so loud too like a HUGE leak. Was low over a pound on refrigerant and was leaking at the compressor and schrader valves. Once it was filled and the leak fixed it no longer does it and A/C runs normal. I knew it had something to do with the charge, when it's low on charge the evaporator can ice up, the refrigerant can turn to liquid instead of vapor - all sorts of odd things. Mine started hissing like that even when I was still getting cold air BTW, but got more and more often as the charge fell. Chrysler uses a TXV valve system like house A/C's, so maybe it has something to do with the refrigerant metering? Dunno. For a mechanic to explain I guess - just passing along my experience with my Chrysler 300 (same A/C system as Charger/Challenger).
