86 300SDL: A/C continues to be a problem. Replaced the compressor/clutch, expansion valve, receiver/drier, relay, early last summer. The A/C switch assembly may be origional and I have not replaced it as it appears to operate ok. Problem appears to settle around the A/C relay (KAE) located on the fire wall, about the size of a pack of cigs. close to the MC. When removing the relay, the compressor/clutch wants to kick in and does sometimes for a few seconds then cuts out. Relay was replaced again last fall and now appears to be failing again. Removing the relay and then replacing it starts the clutch to kick in and then kick out. I acts like there is a short in the system?
I do not want to continue replacing the relay every six months. Any ideas on what would cause this? It has become very frustrating.
Thanks,
Ron
