Re: Compressor Cycles every 30 seconds

I figured out was was wrong. This is how I found the cause: - The pathfinder has dual evaporators so underneath the car there are tees that connects both evaporators. - The suction line from the rear evaporator was cold and the line from the front was ambient temperature. - Line temperatures indicat...

Re: Compressor Cycles every 30 seconds

If reheat was the issue, then the air would be cold until the engine coolant temperature heats up. This is not the case with my car. I decided to vacuum the system for an hour this time.
