2008 Forester diesel AC problem..

[MackL98]

Hi..

Can anyone advise me on this problem please?

I have a 2008 diesel Forester and the AC clutch will only engage for a few seconds after starting the engine, then it disengages, but the orange lamp still lit saying the AC is on. 

Once it disengages, you cant re-engage it unless you stop the engine and restart it. 

🤔

Tried swapping the AC relay over with a similar one?

Hi..

I can see the AC relay, but I'm not sure which other one is similar.. I'll take a closer look. 

Cheers..

Swapped the relays over.. No effect. I'll leave it for now..
