    Car Guys - Want $40 paypal?

    Whenever my car is on and running, everything is fine. However, the past 3 times i've had the a/c on for about 15-20 minutes, the engine just shuts off, power steering+brakes go out, battery still works fine. When I go to turn it back on, it'll come on and turn right back off about 5 seconds later. After letting it sit for a few hours, everything will work perfectly fine.


    Anyone know what's up with this? Whoever helps gets $40 paypal, maybe more. thx

        why dont you just use the 40 to go and put it in a garage and find out?

        most mechs do free quotes anyway.

        BTW what car/model/year?

          you have a relay that is getting hot with a self-resetting breaker. It gets hot, the breaker trips, it cools down and resets.

          I can't tell you which one from here

            it must be a ford (no joke, i'm serious). I used to own a mercury that had this exact same problem. never figured out how to fix it though.

                        That sounds most likely from what the syptoms were.

                              He did not say I had to fix it. Finding the relay for his a/c should be easy enough. I did my part.

                                    probably the correct answer.

                                    the question is what is making the relay get hot.

                                    other things to check:

                                    bearings in compressor.

                                    bearings in all items driven by serpentine belt. (alternator, power steering pump, water pump)

                                    condition of belts, i.e. slipping.

                                    have a mechanic look at it.

                                      my best friend once told me "maybe the car won't start because the door is open".

                                        that is the real question, but he didn't ask that
