A/C intermittently not working - Sprinter-Forum

Front ac intermittently does not work; I drive the van four blocks and restart the motor and then it will work. what is this?
2006, 2500 sprinter, ac had a leak in the condensing coil I fixed the leak, vacuumed the system recharged the unit to the proper level. It cools nice but the compressor will not start if the van has been siting in the sun for several hours. The high pressure switch will start the electric fan in the front at 300 PSI on the high side. There must be a thermal switch some where causing the compressor to not start? Or can some one tell me where to get a manual for this?

Rick, i have exact same problem. AC works on first start of day. Then not again unless it fully cools down.
