When I turn on the a/c it works for a little while then shuts off, what do I do

The temperature control relay switch was replaced less than a year ago and the air condition worked, but now it is doing the same thing. I turn it on it worked for a couple of minutes then it doesn't work. Worked like this for a week, and now the air conditioner doesn't work at all.

You need to have the system tested. It sounds like it is either low on refrigerant or there is a blockage in the system causing too much pressure and the system being disabled by the high pressure switch.

SOURCE: Air Conditioner works intermittently

It could be your low pressure cycle switch is going bad. Check the connection to the switch and it's is located on the A/C Accumulator. The other thing to check is the A/C relay and that is located in the glove box. There is a panel in the glove box that say's relay, there is three relays in there and one of the out side relay's out of the three is the A/C. can not remember which one it is. The middle relay is the fuel pump and the other one is the third break light. Switch the two out side relays and see if your A/C get's better. the other thing too is if the R134a is just a little low, and needs to be topped off. Good luck and hope this helps. if your going to try to recharge the A/C system your self, keep in mind not to over charge.

Love mine too. I had the same prob with the a/c...found a fix online where you take the switch panel out, take it apart, clean the contacts with alcohol and then write on them with a #2 pencil (coat them with the lead) and then reassemble and it worked like a charm for me. Mine started to do it again this year, but it at the end of summer and I didn't get around to doing it again, but will before I need the a/c again. And time again for front brakes and rotors for me! 85k and going strong!

SOURCE: Temp gauge not working and the rad. fan stay on when car is off

The same problem happend to a customer of mine. I replaced all fan relays to fix the problem. (there are three) also as for the gauge it was the instument cluster itself that was faulty. My answer to you is make sure they replaced all the relays.

1998 Grand Cherokee Laredo.. courtesy lights go off when engine is started.. however when temperatures drop under 30 degrees.. right turns seem to activate them on.. left turns shut them off.. all doors...

The courtesy lights work on a relay/switch to turn the lights off 15 - 30 seconds when the doors are open then closed. If the relay is staying to cold then it cannot heat up to break the circuit to the courtesy lights. I would first try replacing the courtesy light relay and if that fails to solve the problem, the switch may be the faulty candidate.

Left hand driver side fan will not switch on and radiator boils over slightly. Air Con works great. Which relay in the fuse box should I check?

The fan circuit consists of a 30 amp fusible link and a relay in the engine compartment fuse/relay block and the thermo-switch on the little coolant manifold near the driver side end of the engine. The relay is the one on the far right side with the fusible link just below it. I would question the thermo-switch first. To test the circuit you can short the wire that goes to the thermo-switch to ground, with ignition switch on, and the fan should run. It not then check and relay. See the attached diagram for thermo-switch location. Do not take the part numbers on the diagram for gospel. I drew this up several years ago. I do not have my Camry so I cannot totally verify the above. I tried to post an answer several days ago but was not logged in at the time and they would not post it! 310bec86-8097-4e0b-9e5c-c6e4a17e69d4.jpg

Have 99 suburban 5.7. Just had fuel pump,filter,distributor,cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, control module and coil replaced a little over a year ago. Drove great until it just shut off recently...

You might check for a fuel shut off valve. Some vehicles have them in case of an accident, it turns off the fuel pump. Some are just a relay that can be reset.

My plymouth, voyager turns off while I'm driving it down the road..

Just an Idea. When it dies next time check the relay temperatures, if you can. Once I had a fan relay which would over heat and the radiator fan would not work. After relay cooled down it would work(This usually happened when I was stuck in traffic). Could be a fuel pump relay. If relay is a lot hotter than the other relay could be bad relay. My thought is it will not cost you anything to try it. I think it may be something electrical over heating. 30 years ago my thought would have been the coil, when the coil started going bad it would heat up and the car would die till it cooled off.

2001 vw jetta 2.0 over heating no fans

Had this happen to my '99 Dodge several years ago. Wasted a lot of money trying to figure it out. I believe it ended up the fan relay switch- cost about $50. Took less than 10 minutes to switch it out.

Dashboard gauges out

There was a recall years ago on the ignition switch. Something wears and causes the switch to catch and hang a little so it doesn't spring back all the way to run position. The car runs but some of the other contacts are out of line or something. On mine it only happens occasionally and if I nudge the switch backwards just a little bit the dash lights and everything start working as it should. Or just shut it off and restart. Or go ahead and replace the switch itself.

Fan won't shut off-service ride & service engine soon on

Buy a scanner or go to Autozone and have them pull the codes out. get back to me with the codes and I'll figure it out for you.
But the fan could be the relay or the coolant temperature sensor and ECU that controls the circuit. Have the coolant , hoses and thermostat been changed lately. Start with those things.
Get the shop manual and test the coolant temperature sensor,relay and ECU. These are simple checks usually a visual inspectionor a little probing with a Digital Voltmeter will solve the problem.

Headlights won't turn off.

I had the same problem and changed light control module and now it works. It is above the swing down fuse panel under the dash on the driver side. Swing the panel down and you can slide it back a little and it will release. You can get these from a junk year for around $10 or less.
