My dad has a base model 2016 forester. Compressor turns on 95% of the time when we turn the car on. Usually lasts 5-10 mins then turns off. Sometimes when we turn ac on and then off again, it works. Sometimes have to turn car off then on again. Checked pressure and it was a little high, but so was I so so we bonded over that. Then I decided to release some pressure from the low pressure valve until it came out white. Used leak detector and didnt find any leaks (seemed obvious but checked anyways) Im assuming its the pressure switch or a faulty electrical connection. Thinking about changing the pressure switch myself before taking it in to a professional in hope of saving some money.
Does anyone have any other ideas for me to check?
Can anyone confirm for sure if the pressure switch in this model has a schrader valve?
Any advice or tips on changing this thing? Im not a car guy, but im handy and pretty smart (so they tell me).
Thank you all in advance!
