I know this subject has been discussed many times before, but I couldn't find any discussion on my particular AC system, which has a cool box.
Well, my LC is a 2003 4.2TD with front AC + cool box... no rear AC.
The compressor clutch engages, and the AC works OK most of the time, but AC stops cooling as soon as the fan inside the cool box starts running.... so I can either have AC or cool box, but not both simultaneously. Furthermore, AC performance sucks on hot days. I tend to think that there might be some kind of valve stuck or the freon circuit might be clogged somewhere.
Is there any valve that controls freon flow to either the AC evaporator or the cool box evaporator, or am I facing some other problem here ?
I think I have enough freon gas, otherwise the clutch would not engage, but never actually checked pressures.
TIA.
