Pontiac Bonneville air conditioner stops blowing when idling on Pontiac Bonneville

Problem overview

Some Pontiac Bonneville owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioner not blowing cold air while idling, which may be attributed to several common problems. These include low refrigerant levels, which can prevent the AC system from cooling effectively, and compressor malfunctions that hinder proper operation. Additionally, a clogged cabin air filter can restrict airflow, impacting cooling efficiency, while dirt buildup on condenser or evaporator coils can disrupt the heat exchange process. Some owners also note that a dirty or sluggish blower motor may lead to inadequate airflow, resulting in warm air instead of cold. Furthermore, issues with fuses or relays can disrupt the AC system's functionality. It is recommended that owners check these potential issues to effectively diagnose and resolve the cooling problem.
