Had Advance Auto change battery the other day. Now, the A/C does not cool when stopped or slow in traffic. How do I get the A/C to work all the time, not just when I'm moving?

Hi,

Removal of the battery really shouldn't have affected the A/C system. The only resets that are required are for the radio presets, navigation, and the idle air control valve. If the idle speed is too low, that could affect the A/C.

Tell me, how low is it idling when it stops working? Does it totally stop cooling or does it just seem weak?

Let me know. Also, take a look through this link. It may help in this situation.

Let me know.

Joe,
I had to jump start the car before replacing the battery before the AC stopped performing at idle or stopped in traffic. Could the problem be a fuse?
