My A/C is cooling down to 44 degrees (outside temperature 95-100 degrees) at the center vent (measured with a thermometer stuck between the slats), which is acceptable, though higher than on my other vehicles. All the top vents blow cold air. I haven't got out the gauge set, yet, to verify pressures in the system; it's just been too hot to fiddle around underhood for me this week.
I've set my controls the same as jac did, but the center dial just turns so far, then retreats about an inch the other way. Is it supposed to click into place, or is it cable-controlled/limited, and is just releasing tension? If so, I don't want to snap the dial loose from the cable, so just how far does it need to turn? A close-up photo of the dial in the proper "max cold" position would be nice to see.
