Strange problem: FRIGID A/C almost all the time!
I'm sure some of you would love to have my problem, but trust me, it's getting annoying.
Basically, the A/C is FREEZING all the time unless I turn it off. It doesn't matter what I set the dial to, it churns out an absolutely arctic chill. I end up having to crack the windows and moon roof to let in warm Georgia air to compensate.
The only time this hasn't happened was one day last week when it was extremely humid out. On that particular day, the A/C couldn't get cold enough no matter what I did.
Does anyone know what on earth might be going on?

As mentioned above, test your temp control **** using the following procedure:
Temperature Control **** Test:
1. With the audio power on, press the ‘POWER’ button and simultaneously press the ‘SCAN-UP’ button for approximately 1 second
2. "A/C TEMP" should appear on the left side of the LCD display and a number from 0 to 16 on the right.
3. The number advances in increments of 1 as you turn the temperature control ****
4. Turn the audio off or the ignition switch to the ‘LOCK’ position to stop the diagnostic assist function.
If that's OK, you can try resetting the AC amp but I don't think it'll work (but it couldn't hurt to try):
2. Verify ignition switch is in OFF position.
3. Press and hold the front defrost and air intake selector buttons simultaneously.
4. Turn the ignition key to the "ACC" position for 3 seconds. (Continue to hold the buttons down from step #3.)
5. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position for 3 seconds. (Continue to hold the buttons down from step #4.)
6. Successful programming will be confirmed by the rear defrost indicator light flashing 3 times. NOTE: If vehicle's battery dies or cables are removed, the programming will not be retained and must be performed again.
