Every time I start the car, the A/C starts then stops after only a few seconds. I guess the computer shuts it off, since the air flow on the display becomes zero as well. Ideas?

It may be shutting down due to low refrigerant.but that needs to be determined by a professional. Overcharge is even worse and will do damage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Well, actually it shuts down on the heating mode as well. So can we exclude the refrigerant level issue?

Some of these computer controlled systems will shut down totally. Could be something else in the system too. We don't have that vehicle here in the US so I have no info on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

I take it blower shuts down AND the display goes out as well? That doesn't all add up to just some normal low charge of A/C to me. I would think display and blower fan would work or at least light up and not respond or blow air? Hard to know what its defaults might be at all. DO NOT PLAY WITH REFRIGERANT CHARGE AT ALL AND IF IT HAS BEEN TOUCHED NEED TO KNOW THAT to even begin better guessing, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
