They somehow put 100 miles on it too. Guess they were thoroughly testing it before they returned it |

Here's a good question for everyone... Why is my AC compressor inclined to NOT turn on when the AC is turned on AFTER the car is started? 95% of the time that the fan is "on"when I start the car it comes on fine. 75% of the time the fan is "off" when starting, the compressor refuses to kick on.

Dunno, I don't hear the click of the compressor clutch and it won't blow cold, even after an hours drive. If you turn it off, turn the fan to anything but of and restart the car it will blow cold right away

Then you might take a drive with the A/C ON and if it's not blowing cold air, pull over and look and see if the compressor clutch is engaged. If the system is low on "gas", sometimes they can get finicky. You might consider having that checked. That's all the "guesses" I have for now ...... humfrz |

Filled twice? Pressure tested? An over pressurized compressor will do all sorts of weird and wonderful things including stopping and starting as it pleases.
