Hi and thanks in advance for your help... Last week I was at a stop light when suddently I felt a small weird shaking and heard the compressor clicking on and off I stopped and saw that the condenser fan was not on. I turned the AC off waited a few minutes and turned it again on the fan turned on again. 2 days later the same thing I noticed the fan was off(it turns on sometimes maybe is normal behavior) but still I was getting a litttle of cool air. I think maybe its not the compressor its the condenser fan maybe. What do you guys think???

thanks again

Which one do you recommend, i found one with a gauge, is that one ok? Let me add that the AC cools really nice when this does not happens.
