Question
Air con comes and goes randomly.
Bridging temp sw brings on front twin fans but no cool.
Bridging pressure sw does nothing.
Stopping engine and restarting sometimes brings on cool.
Can go off during driving. restarting engine can bring on cool. If off during driving no amount of fiddling with cabin controls make any difference. Only stopping engine and re-starting can often bring on cool again.
Any ideas?

The issue sounds like a bad A/C speed sensor and/or compressor.
