I've replaced many of them - more than likely, it's the evaporator. This
requires removing the dash and the A/C box to replace it. Most shops will
charge about 6-7 hours for labor.

Subject: DML: A/C problem
My A/C hasn't been working since last summer. It's been about 85 here for a
week or so and I can't take it anymore. I bought a can or R134 and filled
the system, the compressor clutch started working.
No cold air, I turned the A/C off and started driving. I tried it again and
poof, the R134 blew out of the two middle ducts. Turned A/C off and on
again, same thing happened. I heard a hiss coming from the dash, kindof
behind the glove box.
This probably means bad news, evaporator. Anyone tried to replace theirs?
I've saw a few posts of $500+ to have someone fix it. Any ideas? Are there
any couplings behind the dash that could be leaking?
