Default AC blowing warm

Hi all,

recently my AC has started blowing warm, but only at a standstill. I have checked the Freon level with the AC pro kit and its fine. What I did notice is that at the front of the vehicle next to the main radiator there is a smaller radiator (I think it's the evaporator?) with a fan attached to it, protected by a 30 amp fuse in the circuit distribution box. The fuse is fine but the fan does not spin, so I tapped the motor gently and it began spinning. Could this cause the AC to blow warm?

Thanks

Yes. I had the same problem. The motor in the fan is probably going bad. I hear its a common issue.

Doesnt matter, he knows what his issue is and already identified it as the condensor fan not spinning. If he has to jump power to it to make it work then I suggest he start tracing wires and checking fuses.

Im lost, if you tapped power from another source and it worked, why did you replace it?
