@@WrenchingWithKenny​​⁠2011 Ford Fiesta. Air conditioner has always been cold. I replaced the cabin air filter and since then the air condition blows cold as it use too but now fluctuates. Sometimes at a stop and even sometimes going down the highway at 60 mph. It can be 5-15 mins apart or longer?..

This fixed my a/c problem! Thank you. My car was only getting cool air when driving on the highway. I originally thought it was low on refrigerant and bought a recharge kit, hooked up the gauge, and found out the pressure was in the green. After about two hours of research I came across your video. I have a 2014 Ford Explorer, so I switch out #98 “Air conditioning clutch relay” with the #77 “Trailer tow park lamps relay” relay switch (same type).

What happens to the contacts from arcing over and over they get a jagged surface and not enough of the contact is touching to pass enough current. Also sometimes the surface is so pitted they get hooked and won't release.

So one thing I always do is swap out relays within that fuse box . For example the horn or ac blower fan in the dashboard relay will have the same oem part number as the for example radiator fans. I'll 1st verify the horn is working that tells me that rely is good then swap it out with the radiator fan relay and now see if the horn sounds . If it were the ac blower fan in the dash verify the blower is blowing out the vents then swap and see if the blower still comes on.

Where are you located? I need someone to teach me where those relays are but I'm sure you're not in Melbourne Florida. They keep trying to tell me it's my AC fan if it could be an easy fix like this you rock! My ex was mechanic my ex before him and my father growing up why can't I get away from you guys LOL but that was one good thing about having him around them but they were all bad guys so I want to know how to get this fan going before I drive off because driving it blows out cold sitting it's blowing out hot if it's just the relay switch and out of $500 fan you're the man! But I still want to know how to get that fan moving before I drive off they did it at jiffy lube but I don't remember how I can't find it on KZfaq maybe you can help me out. Blessings. Pixie 😅

Many cars have two cool8ng fans. One for the radiator and one for the ac. The ac fan may have failed and when the car is warm the radiator fan comes on and keeps the ac partly cool. The ac fan normally runs constantly when ac is on for most cars with electric fans.

@wrenchingwithkenny You could cut the cover off the failed relay and bench test it for demonstration purposes. It has a magnetic solenoid that pulls the contacts together. For this failure mode, the solenoid works but at least one of the contacts have failed. Relays can have multiple contact pairs. You can test this electricaly by using a DVM in resistance mode across the the matching contacts. It should go to 0 ohms when the switch actuates if it is working correctly. You can actuate on a bench by applying 12v and ground to the coil contacts.

That works for that issue, but... there is slight different issue I have. - I think it may be a bad ignition switch. 1999 oldsmobile intrigue gl abs light and traction control light remain on. the passive security light comes on and when it shuts off, the air conditioning fails and tachometer & fuel guages drop to zero Why I think it may be an ignition switch (that has either burned or corroded contacts) is that, while still in motion and that happened, instead of stopping, shutting off and restarting my vehicle... I simply turned the key over to the "ignition start" and released it and it all started working again. Mind you, the security light comes back on and both the ABS and Traction Control lights remain - Those are likely just an electrical wiring issue. - on, but it seems to fix that issue. However, just like shutting the engine off and restarting it, the memory for the Cruise Control does clear so it has to be reset. Does my diagnosis seem reasonable to you?
