Turn wheel right and AC blows hot

Asked by ohmzoned Jul 29, 2009 at 10:40 AM about the 1997 Lincoln Town Car Cartier

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hey everyone - got a strange one:

When I turn the wheel to a hard right, there is a clicking noise and the air conditioning starts to blow HOT air.  The clicking noise happens off and on, not only when you turn.  It keeps blowing hot air until you turn the wheel HARD left.  

Now, after a year of this, there is only hot air blowing.

Any suggestions on where to begin?

Thanks!
