Has anyone actually had intermittent A/C due to 'compressor overheat switch?' 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Rockytop on  Sun May 22 13:24 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Quick questions:
1) Has anyone here owned an 850 with the "intermittent a/c" problem who isolated the cause 100% as the Compressor Overheat/Thermal Switch? (the switch that screws directly into the compressor)
2) Is there a way to quickly test / rule out this switch?

If the a/c goes out after working 10 minutes and the driver shuts down the car entirely (presumably resetting the computer / relays, etc?) and then restarts after a minute, would the a/c work again? (ie, is that a/c loop reset after restarting the engine?)

Thanks!
