'05 Passat AC won't always engage and start cooling. Might work for a week and then stop working for a week. I have searched and read the numerous threads on this issue and wanted to start a new one.
If the compressor does engage, it cools nicely. Problem is getting it to engage. The radiator aux fan always comes on, but the compressor doesn't.
Have pulled the 384 relay and checked it. It does "click" every time and the contacts are actually changing state when I ohm them out. It is also tight in the socket. Doesn't seem like this is the problem.
Some of the other htreads comments on the pressure switch not working right. I would check the (Hi/Lo??) pressure switch contacts if I could find it. Anyone know where it is located?
I do have maintenance insurance through an outside vendor that I can fall back on to get this fixed, but there is a $100 deductable and I like fixing things myself (I am also cheap).
Is the Bentley manual the only way to view the electrical schematic for the AC?
Any help is appreciated!
