Hawkkman, one minor point--typing in all caps is interpreted on the net as screaming, so watch your caps lock to avoid giving inadvertent offense. As for your compressor issue, the most likely problems would be inadequate refrigerant causing a low-pressure cutout or else a defective low-cutout switch, a defective panel switch not telling the compressor to cut in; beyond that would exceed my DIY capability. When you run the car and switch from econ to normal, do you hear the compressor clutch click at all?
