Air conditioning cold then warm

Postby djtonyd on Mon Mar 07, 2022 6:01 am

hi all

need help with my triton, has been good up until now. the a/c seems to be cutting in and out.
when im stationary it works for about 10min cold then goes warm / hot and even when driving for example, i about 110km and i turn it on cold for about 20min then it slowly starts to get warm / hot, then i have to turn it off and wait about 10min and repeat the process. any ideas?

regardless of moving or not it working then doesnt and have to be reset in order for it to work again.

I'd start by checking the gap between the condenser and radiator. It sounds like you got restricted air flow here. The system can only cool if it's got somewhere to dump heat.

I'm assuming you've got normal airflow at the vents.

Also, you haven't hit a load of really muddy water recently?

Check the air condition magnetic clutch. Usually it is the culprit. As the clutch get hot, it disengage even there is power to the magnetic coil.
