History:
Bought the Jeep about 4 months ago. Loving it!
A/C worked fine. Was cleaning under the hood and doing general maintanance. Noticed on the low pressure side that the pin in the schrader (sp) valve was completely bent over. Bent it back into place. (shouldn't have touched it). A/C worked fine for about a day and then stopped blowing cold air. Noticed the compressor wasn't kicking on. Fiqured the valve leaked all the freon out.
Took it to a shop and they replaced faulty schrader and vacuated the system and replaced freon to pressure. A/C compressor still doesn't kick on. They replaced a cycle switch and now the A/C will kick on for about 8-10 minutes, then it stops and blows hot air again. Compressor (which is only about a year old) doesn't kick on. Turn the Jeep off, turn it on and the air works again for about 8-10 minutes.... rinse cycle and repeat...
Any thoughts? Im already $450 bucks in and had to pick the jeep up from the shop as I couldn't be without transportation.
