its actually more then likely the panel itself that has gone out... the panel that runs the ac controls... if the air was blowing but not cold id say to recharge it.. but if the panel light is flashing
2008-06-02 engine temps.:
about 180 to 220 i would suggest... overheating is hard to say by temp of the engine... but if your indicator on the dash goes above just over half way and stays there while in motion there is a problem

Please turn off caps lock... I do not know why it would smell that way unless the cooler has stopped working or the pump I would not know which call a auto parts store and get pricing on one or the other
