Now that the weather is getting warmer I've had to run the AC a bit and I've noticed that it kicks on and off. It had a definite pattern and will run for about 2 or 3 seconds, then go off for 2 or 3 seconds. It doesn't seem to cause any real problems when driving down the highway, but I can feel it going on and off. When I come to a stop it really caused a problem and I shut off the ac just before the car died.
While I plan on taking it into my mechanic I was just curious if anyone has ever had a similar problem. If so what was the cause and cure? Cost? I'm new to my area, and while my mechanic here was recomended to me by a friend I've only been to him a couple of times and I don't want to get taken.
Although this has never happened to me, it sounds like the compressor clutch might be messed up. There really isn't anyway for me to know unless I could see it. But, when you say it kicks on and off, do you mean the blower or the radiator fans or both?
I don't know how pricey it will be, but u can always just go without . Ok, thats not funny I had to go a summer w/o A/C and it sucked.
