Hi Guys I have an AC problem the last 4 years and have taken it to two shops for repairs. But they cant seem to fix it. The problem is the AC will work for about 5-10 minutes once a day then not work any longer. One person suggested I change the radiator because it seemed to get worse when it was hot, I changed the radiator and it runs very cool but did nothing for the AC. A couple lines have been changed and freon reacharged anfd check to be fine. When it runs it works great when not it not great! Thanks for your help

Need to use a test light when it wont turn on to see if it is getting power at the compressor, and through the cycling switch. Have to find out where it is stopping t fix it. Could be a weak relay, cycling switch or high pressure switch or a/c clutch
