AC problem, HELP!
I went a basketball game this afternoon and I got stuck in the traffic in the parking lot for like 30 mins. and my AC started blown hot air and I turned it off and then turned it back on and just got hotter and hotter. After the game I started my car and turned my AC back on and it works fine again. Anyone encounter this problem before?

I think there is an inherent defect in our AC. There is a white plastic box that is attached to the three climate control ***** by a thin white ribbon cable. I believe it is called the BCM (the "something" control module). I can't recall what the "B" stands for.
If there is any kinking or jostling of this ribbon or of the box itself, there seem to be episodes like this. I have seen it posted before.
After I installed my computer and two FM modulators (for my XM radio and for my computer), I had the same problem. It only happens periodically but it is somewhat annoying when it does.
Have you played around with anything behind the center console that could have done this?

Nope, never touch anything. It just weird, it was cold the whole time and then all the suddenly just started blown hot air and gott hotter and hotter and they small too. I got this car for yr. and half now, but this is the first time I encountered this type of problem with my AC. Wonder if there is something that I can do to fix this? I drove my car a lot since that day just to see if I can get that same problem come up so I can bring it to dealer, but its been all good so far, no problem.

If there's no airflow over the condenser, the a/c pressures can get too high and the pressure switch will keep the compressor off so you won't blow up your system. if you're a/c works when your car is moving your system should be ok.
