I've only had this car for about 6 mos., and before that it spent a lot of time not being used. I've had some switch contact problems, like window switches that worked/didn't work, and the same with the wipers. A shot of contact cleaner fixed it.
Now the A/C is doing it. It may work for days on end, and it's quite cold. Then it will quit, and no amount of knob twiddling will make it come back. Maybe next time I use the car it will be perfect, or maybe it will work for
5 minutes, then off for 3 minutes and back on again for good. This is just the compressor; the blower always runs like it should.I figure it's gotta be a bad connection somewhere, but where should I look? I don't think it's in the dash controls this time. When the A/C is being bad, there's 8 or so volts across the A/C relay coil, but not enough to pull it in.
A point in the right direction would be much appreciated!
