  • Thanks!

    Hm idk if I hear the clutch engaging but it definitely is. I can hear a loud motor type of sound when it’s engaged. Just don’t know how much it is engaged tho. Is this something that wears out?

    It’s never overheating when it happens. Temp is good.

    Charged the freon last year with a pump and gauges. Should be good but maybe there’s a leak. If there’s a leak would it work while driving but not while stopped for some time?








  • Thanks for all the tips. Time to do some detective work.

    1. I’ll check if the compressor is spinning next time.
    2. i flushed and refilled the freon last year and made sure it was balanced on both sides based on the ambient temp using a gauge set. I could check again. How could I tell if it’s icing up?
    3. I see a puddle under the car when parked after A/C has been on, but I’ll check to see if it’s blocked.
    4. Condenser is as clean as I can get it. I’ll have to open the dash/glove to check the evap coil. Maybe a camera would work.
