Air Con / Climate control issue

[jeffb]

Hi Guys,

The air con in my TS50 has always been problematic, mainly after the car has been running and then it is stopped the air con then decides to work when it wants, I have found that the compressor will not engage for unknown reasons then magically starts working again.

I have done a lot of trouble shooting on it today and found that if I leave the refrigerant discharge temperature sensor disconnected then the system works great. my concern is what is this sensor used for? is it only if the temp gets too high? or does it use it through out operation?

what risks are there leaving it disconnected if there is nothing wrong with the system?

are there any fridgo's that can offer some guidance?

Thanks

Jeff
