A/C compressor cycles on and off consistently
Hello,
I have had a plethora of problems with my air conditioning. I replaced the compressor clutch coil, and the compressor can work without blowing fuses. It worked just fine when driving home from work, but later when I was out and about I noticed the compressor cycling on and off regularly. If I press AUTO while the engine is off, the compressor clutch will engage (and stay engaged), but if I start up the car it will engage for about a half second and then disengage for three seconds, and repeat this cycle over and over. It's like it cuts on, then the system says "wait, something's wrong" and then cuts off. I haven't seen bubbles / foam in the sightglass. Is there too much freon in the system? I'd like to check it but I don't have any pressure gauges. Thanks, |

It may be that you have too much in the system, or not enough. I would get a gauge or have someone else check it for you to find out for sure.
