From what I found and what I experienced it goes like this if its the compressor.

1. Randomly doesn't come on but if left running a bit it cools and cools great.

2. 2 to 5 minutes of no cooling and then cools great.

3. From this point on it just gets longer and longer before it will cool but once it starts its will cool great till its left sitting for a long time usually overnight.

The easiest way to look at it if its the compressor then it will not cool when you first crank the car for the day and after driving a bit or just letting the car run it will start cooling perfectly and keep cooling great till the car is cut off and sits for awhile usually overnight. Then the process starts all over again.

If it never cools or stops cooling then its not the compressor.


So mine always cooks at first startup. Then randomly while driving it's like someone hit the AC button. It just stops cooling.
It will slowly go from a little cool, I guess as it pushes out the cold air. Then it's just blowing air the same as outside.

If we stop and go somewhere. It comes back on and works again. Seemingly the longer you stop, the longer it goes before it stops cooling again.

I haven't checked for any hvac errors yet, but any clue?
If the clutch is faulty, will it throw an error for the hvac?
