You should check for 12 volts at the low pressure switch on the accumulator located on the passenger side of the firewall. If you are not getting a good, consistent 12 volts there may be a broken or cracked solder joint in the a/c control head. To remove the contoller you will need a phillips screwdriver, a torx25, and a 10mm socket. Remove trim around controller. Remove the fuse panel cover and cigarette lighter panel. Pull out the radio, but do not disconnect unless you know the code. Take out the screws in the top of the radio slot pull it out. Take out the 4 bolts holding the metal bracket with the two tabs that go over the bottom two holes of the controller. Remove 4 screws for controller and unplug vacuum hoses and wires. With the controller out of the car bend back the 4 metal tabs that hold the platic cover on. Flip the unit over and remove the 2 screws that hold the circuit board in place. Flip the circuit board over leaving the wires attatched. Upon close inspection you should be able to see at least one cracked solder joint. Resolder and reinstall. This usually takes 30 to 45 minutes and saves about $500 dollars.
