So with the AC button pushed in, light on, temp all the way to cold, fan at 1-4, and vent at face only, the AC compressor clicks on sporadically. It blew warm air the whole way home today. So I popped the hood when I got home and watched it in my garage for a while. The compressor came on for a few seconds, low pressure tube would get cold, then it turned itself off again. Definitely more off time than on time.
I then decided to go play with it some more after letting the car cool for a while and it came on as soon as I started the car and stayed on. I then drove around the block a few times and it was as cold as ever. Never seemed to cut out.
Any idea why it would be turning itself off? The only thing I can think of is that it was very warm on the way home and the car might have been shutting it off to cool itself down as the temp gauge was reading high of center. If that is the case, I am going to have problems as it's just starting to warm up here in Phoenix.
