    So my AC is not working half the time. It will not turn on, then after all day at work it will come on heading home.
    Turn the AC to on position light will come on, however nothing happens. Had battery checked, it’s at 100 %. any suggestions? How do I check the compressor?
    I’m in Dallas, Tx and it’s H O T!!
    Thank you for your help

    Do you hear your blower motor turn on? The one under the glove box?
    My AC blower motor started to go out, but unlike your situation, my AC was still turning on, but it was making an annoying noise. Did you notice any noise prior or leading up to AC going out?

    Look at the compressor with the ac on and see if the clutch is turning

    I'd start with the simple thing first; the ac compressor and blower motor relays. They can be intermittent like that if going bad. You might have a spare on the block somewhere already or you can swap them around temporarily to see if that fixes things, then you'd know you need a new one. OEM Denso ones are stupid expensive but you can get decent aftermarket ones for $10-15.

    Yes it has been making noise. It looks like the pulley is turning.
    And the blower sometimes comes on
