Hello everyone have had some hot weather in midwest this past friday while on my way north had ac problem. While in car wash noticed smoke or steam coming from center vents set out for wisconsin and when i arrived had no cold air left in system. Question is what do you think and how hard will it be to get at cooling unit inside heater /cooling exchanger ie heater box if this is the problem. I'm all ears guys thanks tag

If you don't know about AC this is not the type of repair you should tackle.
Take it to an ac specialist they'll tell you whats wrong . The 140's are famous for evaporator failures, which cost something like $3500. to fix . Do a search on 140 problems.

Ok I Took The Advice Checked Out Found Out That The Dealer Charges About $4,500.00 To Fix This . I Was Told 24 Hrs Did Find A Shop Who Does Many Of These Outside Chicago For About $2,800.00. Since I Work On These Cars But Am Not A Ac Guy Will Fold My Tent And Let The Pro Do The Job Thanks For You Advice Tag

Just a thought - the smoke or steam from the center vents might have been refrigerant and/or oil being blown out through a leaky evaporator. I would definitely avoid inhaling it! And don't run the A/C anymore either.
