For what it is worth, intermittent AC on past posts has often been the AC relay or Aux water pump. Start checking the least expensive items before doing a whole AC or control unit r+r, in my opinion. Also, past posts talk about how to temporarily bypass the klima relay to check for problems. Good luck!
