I have a 1500 Ram,5.9 auto, 2000 , 75,000 miles
The AC is not cold at all.
The AC line that goes into dash (aluminum line) is very cold, zero deg
or less.
The Low side presure is around 40 psi, don't have gauge to check high
side.
Compressor cycles 3 or 4 times a minute.
Clamping off heater hose makes no difference.
Cruise Control works (seen that posted here as a symptom of a vacuum
leak.)
All heater functions work and temp is changeable on heat side.
Is this a problem with the Heater /AC controls?
Thanks

Sounds like a problem with the blend air door.

If the blend door is at fault wouldn't this also affect the heat side
as well? The heat side works OK. Temp is changeable on heat side.

IT should but that depends on how and where it broke. The easiest test is
to check the output temp first thing in the morning with the engine dirt
cold before the sun or the heater core has a chance to warm things up. Set
it to full cold and start it up and check the air temp. If the airflow is
cooler than the outside air, then you probably have a problem with the blend
air door. It may be broken at the cable attachment point where the cable
can push it to the hot side but cannot pull it past the midpoint to the cold
side. It could also be some crap plugging up the evaporator fins and not
letting the air pass through it but if that is the case, I would suspect
that you would see a reduction of airflow at the full cold position.
