No A/C

[Blackened300a]

I was heading out to a carshow tonight and got stuck in some traffic so I decided to turn on the A/C and nothing! :confused:
I hear all the doors opening and when Im driving with the A/C on normal I get a slight bit of cold air coming through the vents but nothing on max. I get to the lot, pop the hood, put the A/C on high and give the blower motor a few taps with a ratchet which thank God got it working again.

I guess a new blower motor is in my near future??

That's only half of it... They revised the electrical connector and obsoleted the motor used on the 300A so you have to buy an adapter cable with the blower motor. The cable ain't cheap either!

Appreciate it!

Check for EATC DTCs?

Say what??

Say what??
see below:
Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module Self-Test

The EATC module self-test will not detect concerns associated with data link messages like engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed signals. A diagnostic tool must be used to retrieve these concerns.
The EATC module self-test will detect concerns in the system control functions and will display hard diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in addition to intermittent diagnostic trouble codes for concerns that occur during system operation. The vehicle interior temperature should be between 4°-32°C (40-90°F) when carrying out the self-test. If the temperatures are not within the specified ranges, false in-car temperature sensor DTCs will be displayed.
The self-test can be initiated at any time. Normal operation of the system stops when the self-test is activated.
To enter the self-test, press the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then press the AUTOMATIC button within two seconds. The display will show a pulse tracer going around the center of the display window. The test may run as long as 30 seconds. Record all DTCs displayed.
If any DTCs appear during the self-test, follow the diagnostics procedure given under ACTION for each DTC given.
If a condition exists but no DTCs appear during the self-test, GO to Symptom Chart (file:///C:/TSO/tsocache/LARRY-PC_5080/S3A~us~en~file=S3AC0003.htm~ge n~ref.htm#SC1)Condition: The EATC System Is Inoperative, Intermittent or Improper Operation.
To exit self-test and retain all intermittent DTCs, push the blue (cooler) button. The control will exit self-test, retain all intermittent diagnostic trouble codes and then turn OFF (display blank).
To exit the self-test and clear all DTCs, press the DEFROST button. The vacuum fluorescent display window will show 888 and all function symbols for one second. Then, the EATC control assembly will turn OFF (display blank) and all DTCs will be cleared.
Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned OFF).
Intermittent DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent condition occurs.
