Well replacing the schrader valves for a charge of $621 did not fix my AC problem. The next time I drove the car when I turned on the AC it did not blow cold air. I turned off the AC and then turned it back on about 5 minutes later and it was blowing cold air. I'm at a loss as to what I need to do. After replacing the alternator as discussed previously, the AC is just not performing as it should. What could possibly be causing this? Help, please.

Thanks for your response. Yeah the Ford Dealership charged "$621 for two bucks of Shraders and A/C service". I don't know if the alternator replacement required a refrigerant charge. My first invoice states, the alternator was $464.40 and the labor was $561.

I had my Alternator replaced on 2007 Ford Edge. Right after I picked up my car & the AC would not blow cool air. I went back inside and reported the issue. The mechanic said it needed a new relay and replaced at no charge. Upon driving my car the next day the AC was intermittently cooling. I returned my car and the mechanic discovered shrader valves leaking. Replaced the Shrader valves. Charged system. Rechecked and found no leaks. There was a $621 fee for this repair (after replacing the alternator for $1211.15), My question is, could there be a link between replacing the alternator and subsequent AC leaks? Could the mechanic have damaged the AC lines/valves during the alternator replacement? Thank you for your help! Barbara
