When I am driving on the highway or something, the A/C is pretty cold, not real cold like i'd like it to be. When I am driving around town, stop and go and all that, the A/C never really gets cold, just feels like the fan is blowing cool air, even when on max. It also seems to take forever to get even remotely cold now, do I just need to recharge or is this a compressor problem? Oh, and when I'm idling an the A/C is on, I notice this most during my late night stops to Taco Bell, some sort of fan comes on like every 10-20 seconds and like drains the car of power, like the lights will dim inside and it's quite loud, at first I though the car was over-heating, but Ford said it's not over-heating, the A/C "just does that". Any tips for either of my problems? Thanks!
