I have a 2001 Eclipse. When I turned on my a/c the belt started to squeal as the clutch tried to engage twice and then the clutch stopped trying to engage. The light in my car would flash orange and green.
I figured the compressor was siege and had a repair shop replace the compressor and clutch as a unit. The system was flushed, oil was added, system was vacuumed and charged, and dryer (filter) was replaced.
Now, the new (compressor) clutch will continuously try to engage over and over again after I turn it on. The load on the engine seems normal as if I just turned it on, but it tries to engage every few SECONDS.
No fault light noted, and air is cold.
I understand it is suppose to turn on and off when needed, but this is cycle is right away, over and over again.
Help PLEASE!!!
Thank you for your time.

2001 Eclipse A/C Cycles Very quick on and off!! HELP!! Please!?
Nothing against the shop who did the ac work. It sounds like the system is over charged. And the compressor does not know what to do with the high amount of pressure. AC unit will cicle with the amount the pressure and fridgeraint they have in the system. So I would suggest to take the car to another dealer, or repair shop. Maybe the guages were off. Maybe the temp was too low, and maybe someone was not paying attention. Somtimes the system will also cycle like that if there is air in the system. I can not trully say unless I have it hooked to a gauge. But Take it somewhere else. Nothing against who did the work, like I said. But every can make a mistake.
