Okay, riding down the highway with ac on full blast, noise like something on the car broke, kept driving okay yet I noticed the ac was now blowing hotter than the sun. The temp control would not adjust, however air still blows out of the proper vents when changed.

So I read a post on here and thanks to the post I ran a self test on the AC. Where I held the floor and off button then pressed auto within 2 seconds.

The AC control display cycled around and then it started to flash 024 after about a minute. Also I started to hear a knocking noise coming from under the dash. I turned the car off, turned it on and the AC is now blowing cold again?

I am going to continue to us until it happens again. What I am curious about is what is the 024 code? and can I fix that myself or should I take it to a shop? I am pretty good with mechanics, just don't really want to deal with the freon...

Thank you for any help or if someone can steer me towards the right direction. I'm sure there is a write up on the site somewhere, I've just yet to locate it. Any assistance will help.

Thank you guys. I'll look into the parts and labor. I actually enjoy working on my car because nobody else cares like I do, whether it takes me an hr or 10, I'll enjoy it.
