Air Conditioning problem
2006 Mazda 3 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 2006 Mazda 3, my husband and father recently added some air condotioning coolant to the air because it's been so hott out. Well after they did it my compressor now turns off and on constantly. The air is very cold while the compressor is on but once it turns off nothing but hot air will blow through until the compressor comes back on. I am not sure if there is a way to fix this myself.

Hi I recommend going to an AC shop for diagnosis. I think your system was overcharged or your cooling fans are not working causing high head pressure and it cuts out. Check fans and post gague readings will advise.
Thanks for donate
