Default 2006 Civic LX a/c turns on for only 15 seconds.

This is driving me crazy! AC compressor clutch and condenser fan turns on for 15 seconds then turns off until car is restarted. No codes. Had local shop check pressures--all normal. During the 15 seconds, cold air comes out. Cabin blower runs well at all speeds. Any suggestions?

Your A/C pressure cycling switch might be defective. That or the system is running low, have it recharged and see if your problem continues.

Well, I jumpered the pressure switch plug between Vcc 5 and Vout (the third wire is ground) and still got the same results. I did have a reliable A/C shop check out the freon and high and low pressures and they said that all was well and the problem had to be electical. Did I miss something in my switch test, or could there be another cause?
