Air Condition was decently cooling, but I may have possibly (hypothetically) overcharged the A/C system with Freon, it now blows out warm air. Just recently after I noticed that the Cooling Fans were not turning on, I replaced the "aux fan" relay and the fans did turn on again. Now (a few days) after I just put a New relay in, the cooling fans are not working again. Is it a possible "open wire", or maybe the fans are going out, etc.?

Good evening,

The first thing I need is the Freon pressures for the high and low sides while the engine is running. I need those pressures to see if there is an issue with any of the components.

Since you added Freon without knowing it was low or not, I would start by recovering all the Freon, evacuating the system, and charging it to the proper amount. I attached a guide for you of the procedure below.

Let us start here and see if that takes care of the issue. The fans may not be coming on due to low Freon.

Once we get the Freon system working correctly we can continue if there are any other issues.
