Why does my air conditioner in my car work sometimes and not others?

Hear this out loudPauseIntermittent cooling is often caused by the components of your vehicle’s AC system freezing up. Typically an iced over evaporator is the culprit. There may be numerous issues causing the icing—from a dirty cabin air filter to a blocked evaporator drain or an overcharged system.

There is only one a/c and only one temperature of air comming from the a/c coils. What could be happening, and I think this would be rather rare, is that the “doors” in the system that direct air flow are not operating properly on the driver side. ie. they are in the fresh are or ambient air mode.

Your AC only working while you are driving might have to do with a low refrigerant level, or it may be an indication that your electric fans are not turning on. Try checking the fuse and relays for your fans to make sure they are turning on when you turn the AC on. My AC was working fine til today I just started my car an the AC just shut off.
