Air Conditioning problem
1996 Nissan Altima 4 cyl Automatic 208720 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
My AC works only in the highest level, and it works great for about 20 minutes then it just blows air. Should I just recharge the AC? Or is something else wrong with the AC, maybe something wrong with the AC line? Thank you.

Hi marykay81,

The motor speed resistor could be at fault for the missing lower speed modes.

Get a diagnostic done before recharging the system to prevent wasting your money.
