    has anyone got any ideas can throw my way, I have changed the sun sensor and it's not the problem. Now I am going to change the climate control unit. The dignostics chesk says that the sensor are fine. Stage 3 shows 31 vent and console is it suppose to show. Please I need some help to fix this.

    Perhaps it might be just a bit low on refrigerant or the pressure switch is faulty. When you first turn on the A/C does it get cold quickly or does it take a while?

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Is the compressor actually cycling on and off with the temperature fluctuation?

    If so, there are two possibilities. Either the low/high pressure switch is being activated or the climate control is deciding to cycle it.

    I would establish which by monitoring the voltage before and after the pressure switch. You could connect leds to these and have them in the cabin to see what happens when you are driving(if the problem doesnt appear at standstill)
    Voltage disappearing before the pressure switch indicates climate control/electronics/sensor problems, after the pressure switch indicates charge problem or switch problem.
