2009 ford escape ac intermittent

Make sure your fan is coming on, you should hear it come on when you turn on the A/C or defrost. The most common problem for that symptom is the fan relay burns out, and the A/C comes on strong but then overheats quickly making the pressure in the condenser get too high and the pressure cycling switch automatically turns off the A/C. The condenser then cools and the process starts over. If you can locate your radiator fan fuse and relay, which will be in the fuse box under the hood, you can rule out the relay by pulling one of the same size from another system that isn't important like the fog lamps(if equipped). As long as you verify that the fan is NOT working, you would try this relay swap test as long as the fuse is still good. I work for a Ford dealer as a technician, if you brought your vehicle in for service for an A/C or heater concern and your still having problems with it. You can bring it back in for a "recheck" or "repeat" repair and they will have no right to charge you again... If I worked on someones car, and the problem came back after they left, I would seriously want to know because I care about my work and care about my name as a master technician. Just remember, you do not have to pay for repeat repairs... EVER!!

I have a problem with my 2009 for escape xlt 4cyl..I just bought it in August of 2012 with only 14,500 miles on it..In september of 2012 I left my house to go pick up my boys from school and as soon as I got in my truck and was on my way to the school I notice my A/C was blowing out warm air so I left it on to see if it would get cold,I got to my sons school and I left the truck running with air on to see if it would start blowing cold air,but it did not.I was sitting at the school for 30 minutes and my truck shut off on me.So I started it again which it started fine then 2 seconds later it shut off again.I did this a couple of times but it kept shutting off.i didn't know what was wrong so i called my husband and told him to come to the school to get me and deal with this truck,I had another son I still had to pick up from another school.So my husband for some reason just turned off the air controls and it started fine and got it home.He couldn;t figure out what could be wrong with it but noticed that if the air was on the truck would shut off,if the heat was on it would stay running.He then just unplugged I guess the air compressor?Could be wrong but I know he unplugged something..My question is why would the air turn off my truck and what could be the problem?My husband is saying its the compressor that needs replaced but i think it might be more than that?Any opinons?Thanks in advance-Kristy
