Greetings!
Two years ago I bought a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport with both an AC/heater problem. The heater had a couple of broken plastic components in it and around the blower motor that left it on continuously but it has since been fixed. The AC however is still causing problems. Whenever I try turn it on, it just power cycles and never actually runs (there is air circulation from the blower motor but it's not). The unit itself is drawing power and the engine does bog down slightly while it enters the cycle but just before the AC can actually run, it turns off and the process repeats. Also, the unit will only hold a charge overnight before the gauge reads low pressure. I've speculated and I've been told it could be anything from a bad compressor to what I think is an electrical short and bad connections, etc. Does anyone know why it does this or what a possible solution would be? How much does it cost to have this repaired typically?
(The car itself is a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport with the SOHC 4.0L V6.)
Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated as this has become quite the problem.
