Problem overview

Some Kia Soul owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioner blowing hot air, even when freon levels are adequate. These problems are often attributed to electrical issues rather than refrigerant levels, such as switch failure, blown AC system fuses, bad control modules, or harness damage at the AC compressor. Before proceeding with repairs or replacements, it is crucial for owners to diagnose the root cause of the problem. Consulting with a certified Kia technician is recommended to accurately identify and resolve the electrical issues affecting the air conditioning system.
