Hi,

I have a Ford Mustang 2004 Convertible, I am encountering a strange problem from last couple of months. In summer when I turn ON the AC in the car, it gets cool for 5 to 10 mins and after that hot air begins to come, it becomes hot after some time. Since, it was summer I used to open the windows or take off the top. But now when I turn the heater ON, I am getting the same problem. Its hot for sometime upto 5 mins and after that its becoming cold. Can someone please suggest where I can get this resolved without getting a big hole in my pocket. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your thermostat is hosed. Have you checked your coolant level?
What is your temp gauge showing during these times? Both are cheap to fix.

Hi pcfrisch,

Thanks for your reply. Well, I purchased this car very recently, I dont know much about cars since this is my first car. I am happy to hear from you that its cheap to fix, but I am afraid to tell that I dont know where the thermostat is and how to check my coolant level. I have never noticed the temp gauge, I will try to look it today. Also, please suggest me if you know a shop or a mechanic where I can get this resolved. I stay in New Jersey, USA.

Sorry, being in Michigan I couldn't help on where to send you.

You should be able to get some leads from friends. Maybe others in your area on the forum can help.
