The car has had various electrical/computer issues, but the A/C had not been working (or would trigger multiple alarms) for *several* years. ~4 repair shops could not fix or advise. Father suggested it might be the solenoid in the actual A/C unit, so I had that replaced and that seemed to fix ~75% of the issue. Still triggered alarms, but at least the A/C finally worked! I no longer own this car. |
