Any one here familiar with the AC system in a 2001 Caravan? My friend's dad passed away and he had a handicap access Caravan. I think the things was like $40k when new. Anyway, my friend called up the place that sold it and they offered hime $3k for it . As he gets it ready for the open market he noticed the AC isn't working very well. The system has a full charge as confirmed by myself and the local repair shop. The compressor seems to cycle on when the AC button is pushed on the dash. But the air coming out of the vent is only slightly cooler than ambient. The rear AC system seems to work great. After 5 minutes of running today, the rear half cooled off, and there was a large puddle of condensate under the right rear tire (where the rear AC evaporator is located). Are there two compressors on the van and maybe the front isn't working? Is there a setting we missed? I didn't see anything in the owner's manual. Is there a selonoid that switches it to the front system? I am at a loss.
