QuestionQUESTION: Hi, I have a 2007 Dodge ram 1500. The a.c. randomly stops and starts when ever it wants, mainly it stops when i start it some times and will then just turn on while I'm driving. My 2001 Jeep Cherokee did the same thing but i traded it in and didn't worry about it. Please help.
ANSWER: Hello George
I need you to be more specific with the problem please.
To eliminate the basics, has it got gas, and if so does it have enough ?
When it is not working, does the interior fan stop as well
When you say it works when it wants, how do you know this. Is it because you can hear the a/c compressor cutting in or because it blows cold air randomly ?
I am sorry this probably does not appear very helpful, but it is not clear to me what exactly is starting and stopping
Please advise
Thank you
Paul

QUESTION: It has plenty of gas, the a.c. does not blow. When I'm driving I can feel the air passing trough the vents is cold. What I mean by works when it wants is that I will start my truck and the a.c. wont turn on , so i leave it on then randomly it will start blowing and some times it wont it will start working on the next time I start it(some times)
AnswerHello George
On a climate control system this could be something like a temperature control sensor sending the wrong reading to the fan
On a simpler system this sounds like a feed issue of some description
