I have a Subaru Forester 2.0d XC 2008 (-2012) model which has a problem with the air conditioning. My repairer has checked over all of the component parts and everything is functioning correctly; compressor, compressor clutch, refrigerant, pressure, charge, relay, etc.

The air conditioning works fine for five minutes or so then starts to blow normal air.

Upon inspection by an auto-electrician, it seems that the circuit between the switch (in the car) and the relay is losing earth causing the air conditioning system to stop working. I want to avoid taking the vehicle to a Subaru dealer (who will probably try to convince me that I need a new air conditioning compressor!), so I was wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram for the air conditioning circuit on this model to help my auto-electrician fix the problem (relatively cheaply)?

Any guidance/advice will be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Andy

most dealers are useless at this sort of repair so avoiding them is wise move .
