I replaced the resisitor and wiring harness because the switch was only running on high. It was very cold always but only on high. Now all switch positions are working, but the a/c wants to blow cold then warm then cold. It dosen't do it all the time, jus when it takes a mind to. Any ideas?

Is your engine running hot when the a/c cuts out?Is your engine fan clutch working correctly?Those arent the best in the world I have seen a lot of them fail. Also have you checked the high and low pressures on your a/c?

No the engine is running hot and I believe the fan cluth is working correctly. I have not checked high and low pressure on the A/C, I guess I will have to take this thing in to the dealer

You have to make sure the a/c is fully charged the engine is not running too hot when the a/c blows hot. Also that the a/c condensor is not plugged up with debris not allowing enough air to come thru it. Let me know what you find out.
