Anyone else have their AC cut out when the blower is set the highest setting?

So my AC light goes out on the control and air gets warm when I turn the fan all the way up. Is there a common fix for this?

does it go out immediately when you turn it to 4? If so, and if like many other vehicles its a blower resistor that went bad.

If it goes out after having it on full blast for awhile there might be a restriction in the system.

I am assuming its in the heater control unit as I can wiggle the lever and get it to come on as off on the highest setting. My temperture slider is broken as well so I think I just need to replace the unit. I started looking at it and it appears that the dash must come out to do this so I will swap the dash at the same time.

Thanks,

will

Mine does the exact same thing. I can jiggle the slider and it works on 4.
