Read this, check (jumpwire compressor), swap/clean relays, sight the sight glass... Then return with new questions. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/7

We have two 1990 Maximas, a GXE and an SE, and One recurring culprit is failure of the A/C Climate Control Head. We now have to have these replaced every other season on both cars. 1st one (from new car) lasted 13-14 years; but since then both cars 'eat' them. A/C compressor will start, but kick out and stay out - or - compressor only works at certain fan speeds, or in the latest replacment on the SE, blower would only come on intermittantaly - like 1 in 30 tries. Blower would stay on as long as car is running. But turn the car off, and it's back to the 1 in 30. My personal mechanic and I have been trying to figure this out for the last 2 years. Both fan speed switch and A/C switch fail; but of course you have to replace the entire assembly. Only two possibilities exist: 1) something is cassing an electrocial overload of the control head or 2) Nissan has cheapened the part and replacements no longer can handles the electrical load. We've check for corrosion on contacts with no luck. We've check for corrosion on contacts with no luck. We have the compresor and freon loop components checked out each time and there are just fine. Anybody out there have any input as to the cause of this?
