Aircon Intermittently Works

[fib]

Hi guys,

The r33 gtr aircon seems to have a mind of its own.

At first it would shut off after 5 minute of operation, I took it to auto electrician they changed one of the thermostats. This did not solve the problem. My heater was disabled because the guy said the heater was cutting in making it warm. This made it work the entire duration of when I can get it to turn on.

Now the problem is that sometimes I cannot get the aircon to turn on. Took it back to him for the 5th time... he hit the auto button afew times and listened to the compressor turning on. It worked that time... but sometimes I cannot get it to turn on at all. Who enjoys sitting in a 40 degree car, hitting the auto button on and off hoping that the aircon would work? Also, when I'm already driving and decide I want aircon there is no way for me hear that confirmatory click of the compressor so I'd wait and wait hoping for the aircon to come on but no luck at times.

I have given up on this auto electrician guy, not only has he disabled my heater but now sometimes I cannot even de-mist my windows with the aircon.

What's going on here? Is it the climate control screwing up?

Any help appreciated,

fibbo.

I used to have an R31 Silhouette with the same intermittent problem.

There was a flawed contact in the switch > needed to be resoldered.

I wish someone would make an aftermarket climate control unit for the R33.

Cause they are total rubbish.

Mine is either Hot as hell or freezing- have to keep turning it on and off to keep the cabin comfortable.

Also all my gas is gone come every November and can't find the leak.
