[QUOTE="SkidTracks, post: 142738, member: 5570"] I believe you can rule out Fan switch, since you say fan works fine and heat works. You should feel air coming out of vents, even though A/C isn't working. Exception would be evaporator coils freezing up (coils below cab), resulting in air being blocked. On a hot day, with A/C fan on High, Temperature cranked to Coldest setting, Cab door and windows open, the A/C compressor should be on almost continuously (compressor's hub is turning with drive pulley - compressor clutch engaged). If compress's hub isn't turning most of time: There is possibility A/C is low on charge (compressor starving for Freon). Which would indicate a Freon leak. [I]On my T870, it took fluorescing dye in A/C system and parking machine in a deep shaded area to see dye at compressor's hub. Dealer's service team missed leak because of bright shop lights.[/I] Along with possibility of intermittent wire/connection going to compressor's clutch which engages hub to be turn by drive pulley. [I]Normally such an intermittent connection is seen when machine is being used (going over bumps); not while parked - idling.[/I] [/QUOTE]
