Hi all,

My A/C compressor is not staying on. I press the A/C button and I hear it click like it's engaging but it cuts on for a few seconds then the A/C button blinks.
I installed a new A/C relay, condenser, evaporator, and compressor. I took it to a shop to have it changed and its holding pressure.

I'm not sure what to try. Any thoughts by the group?

Thanks

Another thing that will cause the light to flash is when the compressor gets wet, like from a puddle, and the belt slips momentarily. I've had that happen a couple times and just shut it off then on again and it was fine.

Same here. Turning it off for a minute and turning it back on again fixes it. I also just had my alternator go, so it might have been related to that. Is the belt on the alternator the same as the A/C one? Noob question, I know.
