Intermittent AC Problem

I am having problems with my AC. It will work for a day or so, then it will stop. Eventually it will start working again. For example, as I am driving, it will be on and blowing hot air, but then it will start blowing cold air. I took the car to the Dealer. They had my vehicle for three days. They replaced the relay and charged me $212.00. The same day that I picked up the car, the problem returned. I called the Dealer and they said it might be my computer and to bring it back in. I don't think they have the experts to work this problem. Other forums I researched said to check the high pressure switch. What do you think is wrong and what should I do?

Hello,

This kind of problem usually leads to the compressor clutch coil which short out all the time. If the compressor is getting power but not working this is your problem.
