[s-cars] A/C Trials and Tribulations......Solved!

Yes this is by design, with overtemp conditions the A/C gets switched off to
lessen the load on the engine and reduce the extra head generated.

Hey guys,

Hopefully this helps someone else out......not sure if this was a
coincidence or what, but at the same time I was having difficulty with
having the A/C compressor engage, my MFTS temp sensor was also giving me the
flashing temp light in the instrument cluster.....my tech was able to get
the compressor to engage through the relay, so we thought maybe the CC unit
wasnt working properly.  No codes were present, except for the Temp Sensor,
which I already knew about.  As luck would have it, my sensor came in from
Chris Semple @ Force 5 today (thanks Chris!) and I dropped it off to have my
tech put it in while he had the car.  Well, as soon as he got it hooked up
properly, everything worked!  No flashing light, cold A/C, and the recirc
flap opens and closes.  So, my thought is that the Temp Sensor would not
allow the A/C compressor to engage, thinking there was already a overheating
situation going on.  Is this a plausible reason, or did I just get lucky?

HTH
