The AC will cut out on excessive head pressure or if the radiator fan
switch calls for the fast speed. The later case is usually caused by a fan
switch set at to low a temperature or the radiator is shot and no longer
cooling efficiently.

Subject: air conditioner

I have a question that hopefully somebody will be able to answer. My a/c
stops blowing cool air everytime the cooling fan kicks in high speed. I
checked the archives, looked at a couple of wiring diagrams, but can't
figure it out. I have this notion that somewhere I read that this happens
so
because the pressure of the a/c system gets too high and the pressure
switch
disengages the compressor's clutch, or something to that effect. It sucks
to
not have cool air blowing out the vents when I need it the most, when it's
cooking around the high 90s outside. Any thoghts or ideas? TIA
