96 Nissan PU - a/c sometimes Sign In

when I start my 96 Nissan PU I don't know whether the a/c will work or not. It allways works in the morning when it's cold, but after that it's just fate whether
or not it's gong to work. Turning fan, max button, temp bar off/on does no good. Fan blows but compressor doesn't come on. Next stop it works OK. It's 97 in Pensacola today.Unsure HELP!

If you've verfied for sure that the clutch is disengaging. Next time it cuts out safely tap on the clutch to see if it engages, if it does you have a bad clutch.....

Clutch gap may be excessive and most are adjustable and might work when generally cool then act up. Find the outer gap and fold a biz card in there - it should be almost impossible to fit in and opened should fall out. Spec is generally .o20 or so and the closer the better so long as it doesn't drag.

When running, requesting A/C and out hub is not turning try tapping on it with something rubber or wood as it may kick in so use all care! If so gap is probably too large and needs adjustment. Some are a 5 minute job and some difficult and I don't know this one off hand,
