I have a 1992 Honda Accord with 250,000 miles. Last summer there were a couple of instances where the compressor did not engage when the A/C button was pushed. The light came on, but the compressor did not and no cold air was being blown, but after the car was shut off and restarted everything began working again. This year the compressor is not engaging at all when the button is depressed and has not even been intermittent. Do you think there is a problem with the compressor, the switch, is there not enough refrigerant to engage the clutch, or something else entirely? Thanks for the help!
