Still a mystery...a/c quits on restart when hot?

New fuse.

Check refrigerant level first. Too low or too high will trigger safety kill switch.

On my 95 525iT, when we turn the engine off or cut the a/c off while the engine is running, compressor won't come back on....unless:

1. I leave the car off for at least 15mins (then it comes back on).

2. I pull the fuse and re-insert. Compressor pops back on.

What part do I need to replace to remedy this gremlin!

get a meter and check the lead coming into the clutch.

you'll need to test the thermal switch on the clutch, it look like a little box or plug in line with the clutch lead.. when the compressor over heats it shuts it down.
