It will work fine for awhile and then cut out completely (no fan) for a second or three, and then come back on. I have not had this problem while using the heat...it only happens with A/C. It seems to be exacerbated when I have it set colder and/or the fan set higher. I just had the A/C system recharged two weeks ago, and that didn't alleviate the issue. With 110 degree days only a few months away here in AZ, I want to get this resolved before summer hits. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!   D.

I just cut it back to #4 and it comes back on. Im guessing it is a loose connection on #5 (High).   Neal Glessner (Nealg) Senior Member Username: Nealg Post Number: 591 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, March 21, 2003 - 11:56 pm:    This is a very common problem. Your switch is bad. The next time it happens, jiggle the switch just to make sure. The only fix is to replace it.   M.

I have been told it could be a faulty pressure switch,causing the freezing up of the system. Is there a lot more water under you vehicle than normal, indictating a freeze up. when it unfreezes the A/C comes back on.
