Howdy all.
My 03.5 MSP has an odd AC issue. When the button is pressed it will come on then flicker and with every flash on I can feel the engine drag as the AC compressor is activated and the air gets cooler, when the light on the button is off I can feel the power come back from the clutch disengaging and the air will start to warm up. This just started today (90F here!) and it only briefly flickered when I used it on the highway then stayed off. When I got into town I tried it again and it flickered for a bit then came on and stayed on. I just parked it about an hour ago and I'm letting it cool before I start to mess with it. My theories are:
1. low refrigerant causing problems with low pressure tripping the cut-out
2. when I degreased the engine bay a week ago I got water in the clutch wiring (1st time using the AC since the wash)
I will investigate in a while but figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has other suggestions.
Another issue is my 4way flashers are not working. Push the button and nothing happens. Turn signals work but hazards do not. The DS corner light (little bulb in the headlight, not the running/turn signal larger bulb) is burnt out and I haven't replaced it yet. I doubt this would have any effect on it but I want to give as much information as possible. I bought this car a week ago so that's all the experience I have with it so far.
Thanks in advance!
