My car air conditioner hasn’t been working for a couple years now. Rather it does work after I drive around for 15 to 20 minutes. Then it suddenly kicks on. There was no ice on the evaporator, but I charged it anyway, no change. I checked the system pressure; both the high pressure side and the low pressure side were nominal. I found the high and low pressure sensors and shorted the high, opened the low; no change. Then I found a comment online when I googled on “car air conditioner, delayed start.” Someone commented that a compressor relay can go bad. So I looked in the relay box, found one marked AC, noticed there were three other relays with the same part number. So I swapped a couple of them. The AC immediately started working, COOL! But now the car quit running after about 15 seconds, damn. So I put that one back and swapped out a different one. Air conditioner working, car running fine, COOL! But now it wouldn’t go in gear, damn. Mister Lincoln has shift by wire. So I have one last chance, swapped out the last remaining one, AC works, car runs, goes into gear, COOL! I didn’t know what I had disabled, but I reasoned that whatever that relay did, it takes some kind of low current signal, such as from a switch inside the passenger compartment, and uses it to run a high current device in the car, examples being the air conditioner compressor, the fuel pump, the transmission actuator, and something else. It finally occurred to me that it is probably the horn. Sure enough, the horn doesn’t work. Or at least not right away. So now if some yahoo pulls into my lane, I lay on the horn, of course nothing happens. Now I need to hope that 15 to 20 minutes later I am not in the middle of a pack of Hells Angels.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The point of all that: back in the old days, we would need to take the Detroit to a repair shop, and she would charge 600 bucks, absolutely regardless of what was wrong.
