Re: [MBZ] Part time AC

The possibilities I can think of are: 1. Debris from previously destroyed compressor periodically blocking open either the expansion valve or a valve in the compressor. 2. Low voltage to clutch or electrical control system at low rpm. (Wiring corrosion? Defective relay? Defective PC board?) 3.
