Question1989 Mercedes 300 SEL 112,000 mi, Pittsburgh
My ac seems to cut off after 20-40 minutes of operation
Some observetions:
I think it tends to do it more often when outside temperature is over say 88 deg.
Sometimes it seems as though after cold air cuts off, if I turn engine off and restart / ac resumes.
AnswerAnswer:
My best guess would be AUX cooling fan not turning on.
