    I took my car out today and the air seem to blow a little warmer than usual. I thought maybe it's just hotter out. About 20 minutes into the drive the air started going from cold to very hot, back and forth. Then a little later it starting going off and on by itself. Finally on the return trip the vent doesn't blow at all and the A\C blows hot air and the fan speed knob has no effect, it just blows hot air on high. Any ideas? Please keep them simple as I'm not a mechanic. If it's not an easy fix I'll have to take it to my mechanic. Either way I'd appreciate some information. Thanks Alot.....Charlie

    Take it to a dealer or your Ferrari mechanic, seems like you have a leak in the A/C system and you lost your Freon. This could be a defective hose or a component failure in your A/C system.

    Could it be electrical? A fuse perhaps?.....Charlie

    that would explain the hot air but he said the control knob has no effect on the streem of air. my guess is its electrical.
