If the A/C shuts off, do you still feel cool air coming from the vents? If you can, I'd imagine that something's shutting off the blower, or it might just need to be replaced. Just my two cents, anyway. 2000 Contour SE 2.5L Duratec

Get one with the oil lube in it....your compressor might have seized if not taken care of...My .02.....

There may be logic in the circuitry that will not allow the A/C to engage at high engine speeds, to prevent damage to the clutch or compressor. I know once I tried to turn on my A/C at 70 mph and it wouldn't engage, but when I slowed down, it engaged and then stayed on when I accelerated to higher speeds. -Mark- '99 Mystique LS, totally original (including the original water pump and the premium stereo)!
