My A/C blows cold air VERY intermittently. I have tried it thirty times this spring and it only worked twice, and then for only several minutes. The On/Off button always lights up, but the compressor does not turn on. A friend switched the relays (A/C for intermittent wiper) but still the compressor did not work. He noted that the belt was not moving but came to the conclusion that the electricity was not reaching the compressor. Any thougths?
