Default What's with this common a/c problem?

Every fucking car on Craigslist "just needs freon". Really? Every car made has freon leaks? none of them have electrical/mechanical problems? /end rant

Those ads are global warming wacko plants. Freon = the end of the Earth.

Yup, because that is the cheapest fix on this otherwise near mint used car they are only selling because they are forced too....

I buy, fix, and resell them. Out of the 12 cars I've done this year I think maybe 2 had freon issues.

The rest were electrical issues with cooling fans, blower resistors, blower switches, compressor clutches and pressure switches .

Leave it to a Ford Ranger to be the only one that needs an evaporator .
