    Help!!! My 2004 Prius A/C suddenly started blowing hot air. I started my Prius as always; nothing fancy, so I don't know what happened. I checked every posible misplace on the climate screen, but everything looked normal. What can it be??? A fuse? a programing malfuntion? I need some help....

    How long has it been since you checked your cabin air filter? Sometimes rocks and road hazzard material kicks up and punches a hole in the A/C compressor/line. Check that also. Set the system to max low temp setting and see if it gets cold. You need to tell us how many miles are on your vehicle as that helps diagnose the problem. Also....This thread is for tech discussions. The maintenance and troubleshooting area is where this thread should have originated.
