    What should I look for to fix? Is this coolant fluid or perhaps a fuse. Where do I find a key for the fuses - chart that shows which does what?
    Was working fine as usual. Stopped at a store, got back in, only blows hot air.

    Nest day -

    Took it to a shop (not the Dealer - learned not to trust them) and they topped off coolant. Worked for 1 trip. Don't see evidence of a leak. AC Amplifier? What else might cause this.....? Blowing hot air again.

    More thoughts?

    sounds like an a/c problem. fuse chart is in the manual. a dealer can check the refrigerant, etc.
