1993 Dodge Caravan engine problems

Filed Jan 15, 2004 · Brakes, Engine · 120,000 miles · MO

I am having a problem with the A/C, heater switching to blow out through the defrost when accelerating or under load causing poor cooling/heating. I talked to chrysler and they said it would cost to figure out what is causing it to switch. I have had the compressor replaced while it was under warranty because it was leaking. I had to replace the cooling fan after warranty. It failed again almost a year later. But the part was replaced with only installation cost. I would be interested in knowing what other things can be done to solve the problem of switching to defrost.
