Good lord, now it's the air conditioner!

OK, here is an update on issue #3.

I did do the diagnostic on the system and it did throw an error 13 which, I believe, is the sun sensor. Funny thing was that it didn't show the error at first and I only saw it because it was taking me so long to read through the service manual. It popped up after a couple of minutes. This might be affecting the behavior of my A/C but it wasn't causing the shutdown issue.

The A/C wasn't engaging because the coolant was low and it was low because one of the o-rings on the top of the compressor was leaking. I was happy to hear that the compressor was not dead. While I was waiting for my car, the parts guy delivered a compressor for a Buick they had in the shop. I told my kids, "I hope we won't be ordering one of those". We won't be...yet.
