Does it ever cycle with the hood open?

I think a simple test light would help narrow down the problem. Available at most parts stores. Looks kind of like a screwdriver, sharp point on the end and a wire with an aligator clip out the handle. See if you can pick one up and then we can talk you through using it. Basically there is a 12 volt light bulb in the handle. The first check will be at the single wire going into the compressor. The alligator clip goes to bare metal or the battery negative post.If the light stays on while the compressor cycles its the compressor temp switch causing the cycleing. If the bulb clycles with the compressor, high pressure switch or anti-frost switch. Post when your ready to check or e-mail macgyver900@yahoo.com Also, if you have a thermometer thats pretty accurate, check the temp of the air coming out of the ducts after 5 min with the engine at 1500 RPM or so.
