AC Question

[Libertangler]

When we turn on the AC in my wifes 2012 Liberty, It seems to take a really long time before the AC actually starts blowing out the vents, Is this Normal,, it just seems to take too long,, And my Old Cherokee(98) seemed to blow colder.. Any thoughts. Thanks.

How long is too long? Mine (KJ) takes about 6-8 seconds to come out of the vents. I think it's designed that way.

^^agreed. Mine has a pause but it works to the benefit of getting it cold. Not cold enough? Possibly low on refrigerant?

Its Probably about that long, Maybe 10 seconds,,Its just the fact that it pauses,, you hear the fan, but nothing comes out,, It just seems longer when you get in and the temp. sensor says 104 degrees... and I drove it myself today, it gets plenty cold.

It's normal. My Jeep did it when it was working, and my brand new Chevy does, too.

Mine does, too.

Get used to it.

The blend doors are kinda slow inside the HVAC system.

Some steps I take when it's over 90F and vehicle's been sitting in the sun, if not in a hurry and if enough room around vehicle: open all windows, doors, rear hatch and sunroof, start vehicle and put AC setting at lowest temp/highest fan, close hatch and doors, drive away and close windows and sunroof. It seems like interior cools off faster that way, but maybe I'm just distracting myself?

I haven't tried using the remote start feature for a pre-cooling, but maybe that could help, too?
