We did a road trip with the little ones yesterday, and had the AC running pretty much the entire time. My wife and I were in the front, and found the AC to be working fine.
When I was cleaning out the van at the end of the day, I noticed that a little container of snacks that had been sitting in a recess on the R side of the 3rd row was quite hot. Wha ...???
I snooped around and discovered the plastic in that entire area was quite hot.
I felt the tires and rotors on all four corners, and although the tires were warm and the rotors hot (this was within five or 10 minutes after we got home), they were all about the same - so evidently the heat was not radiating upward from a sticky brake on that corner.
I started pulling things apart, and found that the one AC hose I could access easily was very hot.
My wife is out with the van right now, but I hope to do a bit more investigation later.
I know almost nothing about AC, and would appreciate any insights any of you have. There are lots of posts online about the rear AC blowing hot (while the front AC is fine), but I've found nothing specifically about the hose being hot.
Thanks!
