My mother's car has been having problems, so i told her I would look at it. the AC was blowing out hot air, so I bought a can of 134a with the gauge and refilled it according to the instructions. The air conditioning worked for the 1-2 hours I drove her car that day. The next day I turned the car on and it is blowing hot air again. She seems to think (from skimming her manual) that it is the AC relay fuse in the box next to the battery. I went to my local Autozone and found out I cannot get that part from them and would have to take it to a licensed Subaru dealer. Before I have to do that I wold like a professional opinion as to whether there is a leak in the system or not.
