What kind of heater control do you have? Electronic Automatic Tempature Control (EATC) manual
Manual heater control?
Hi Mr. MArk, It is EATC. often Ac is getting on/off and also i can hear switching sound from the panel.
Bad alternator. Should be about 14.4vdc, but when the voltage spikes to about 15.5vdc, there is a protection circuit in the EATC that shuts it down to protect it.
