'96 850T A/C problem-- HELP! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Matthew Brown on  Mon Jun 10 13:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My air conditioner has been acting up in the last couple of weeks.

On three instances in the last two weeks, the following has happened--

When I start my car, there has been a fairly loud hum from the front of the engine compartment. This hum will last between 5 and 15 seconds. The air conditioner will not click on and the lines will not get cold of frost. Obviously the air will blow warm during these instances.

On other occasions, the system will blow ice cold.

Please give me an idea of the possible problems.

Thank you in advance for your time.

    Are you experiencing the compressor rapidly cycling off and on? Many of us here have had this problem; it turned out to be an indication of low refridgerant R134a. Most likely this is caused by the infamous evaporator leak.

    Do a search on AC leaks on this site and you'll find tons of info on fixing this problem.
