    I had a problem before that caused me to change the AC compressor. I changed AC compressor with a new Delphi unit along with dryer tank and expansion valve. After that I now have a problem that the compressor kicks in when it feels like. It is completely random. I will turn the AC on and get nothing but hot air for the whole drive or sometimes it will kick on immediately or it will kick on while driving. When it works it is ice cold. I checked my lines and they are topped of with refrigerant. Did not have this problem until I changed my compressor, dryer tank, and expansion valve. Any ideas or suggestions?

    What does it do and where is it located? With it broke would the ac even work half the time as it does?
