LOL yes its a good idea, have several issues like you know, but the A/C right now is my main concern cause its hot in texas and no A/C on an vette is like seriously lol,


P.S: Does the A/C Button have to stay on? as you see in the video the little light on the button turns on and then it turns off after a few seconds?

in my experience (this is observational, subject to be incredibly wrong) that button seems to be 1:1 with the compressor kicking on. do you have it set to auto when it turns off? or just manual?

that vacuum sound has to be related if it's turning itself off. wish i knew man, i'm just here to spy on people who do.
