DESCRIPTION
If the air conditioner is operated after hot soak, the indicator light on the air conditioner switch may flash and the compressor will disengage, even though there is no problem with the air conditioner. However, the air conditioner will work properly if the air conditioner switch is reset. In order to correct this problem, a modified temperature control box has been established.
