I have been having problems with my a/c lately. Sometimes it will come on, some times it won't. Well this weekend I drove about an hour on the interstate trying to get it to come on and it never did. I pulled over and thumped the relay and it started working. I didn't even make it to the interstate again before it quit. I found a parts store and got a new relay and it worked for the next 120 miles or so. When I pulled over, I thumped the relay and it worked for about 5 minutes.
I bought a new relay that worked all the way back home with no problems. Does anyone have any suggestions? I thought maybe the diode was bad and the clutch was drawing too much current on start-up and frying the relays, but I don't know very much about it.
I am looking into a Killer Chiller, but I don't want to spend the money on one if it won't work when I want it to.
