I'm kinda with Beat on this one...are you sure the display mode didn't get switched from Farenheit to Celcius? 32 degrees C = 90 degrees F //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

-prowler this makes sense from Farenheit to Celcius? 32 degrees C = 90 degrees F but how would i change it back then=/

yeah but it used to show the number on the dash where the heat is cause its digital used to go up to 90 like it would show 90 the number.

I would have no idea how to change it back (if our assumption is, in fact, what actually happened though it makes the most sense)

I do not have a car like yours and cannot recall that I've ever been in one.

What probably happened is a faulty hard line in the a/c system leaking into the heater core and thus cooling the outer portion where the cabin temperature sensor is but only minutely affecting the inner portion where heat will be coming from. Might want to have that checked out, you don't want to be breathing R134a if it is indeed leaking. The section of main concern is the liquid line which is prior to a fixed orifice, after the compressor but still before the routing of lines reaches the condensor.

Pretty doubtful he's got 134a in an '89 model Ford product unless the system's been converted...

Oops, automatically assumed without noticing the year. Ok so yea its probably R32 but still not a pleasant thing to fill your lungs with
