Searched the forum for details on how the climate control works, anyone got any good links?
I just had the A/C recharged and leak tested on my 1993 Fleetwood Brougham. It's good in that respect (whew).
When it was 100°F outside, I'd turn on the car, start the A/C, and my eyes would try to freeze open. After a few minutes, I'd start to notice that the air felt swampy (I live in the DC area) and I when I opened the window the outside air felt frigid
After about 15 minutes, it would suddenly get cold again. Fuses appear to be fine, grounds are fine.
So I'm guessing the A/C is controlled by an upper/lower temp thermistor pair? What else goes into deciding when to turn the A/C compressor on/off. Any way to tell when the A/C compressor is on, since I can't hear it or manually turn it on (that I know of)? Again, fuses and grounds appear to be alright.
I really do appreciate any advice. That and a slightly leaky astroroof are my only complaints. LO5 works great after 205k miles!
