My a/c works perfectly fine at idle but when i start driving it turns on and off constantly. i can feel the compressor turn on and off because my car slows down everytime it turns on. I was wondering if the aluminum radiator that I have is causing this problem. Because my freeon level is good.

 

sounds like a loose ground wire or something...its turning on and off without you touching the climate controls right?

 

yea i dont touch any of the climate controls. Do you think that the aluminum radiatior has anything to do with this or should I go with oem.

 

i highly doubt the rad has anything to do with it....i mean anythings possible but i wouldnt think it would make your ac turn on and off randomly...any CELS?

 

Im sorry but I am new to this. What does CELS mean? Its weird because my condensor fan kicks on, my relays and freeon are good, but the a/c clutch is the one that enganges and disengages very frequently.

 

cELS -check engine light...its possible that your ac compressor might be on its way out

 

Nah it doesnt have any check engine light. Is there any way I can tell if the compressor is bad? Or do I have to take it to a shop for them to take a look at it? And by curiosity how much would that be to check the a/c?

 

i believe you can take it out and connect it right to the battery and see if it stays on...autozone is the only place i know of that usually wont charge you to test it but thats only from what ive seen on their commercials lol

 

LOL yea thats true lets see if they back their commercials cause im going to go there right now. and i will let you know wat happened. I really appreciate all of your input thank you

 

Well i found out that autozone does not check a/c but pepboys does. For $40 but im going to take it to a mechanic that specializes in a/c's. I will take it to him tomorrow. I will keep you guys posted.

 

I figured what the problem was. The a/c had too much freeon. Just a little bit of advice for people with a/c problems: NEVER CHECK THE FREEON LEVEL WITH THE GAUGE THAT COMES THE FREEON CAUS IT DOES NOT READ RIGHT. When I checked it with that gauge it said it was fine but when my mechanic put his gauges on it it was way over. Anyways thanks for your help.
