Air Conditioning Delay: My A/C only turns on after 15-20 minutes.

. With engine running check that A/C compressor clutch is engaged . Try the different vent controls. It could also be a sticking damper door in the duck work The hissing sound could be the air passing through the closed door.

I'm having the same problem did you find a solution?

It turns out it is a corroded plug on the compressor. I used electrical contact cleaner from the auto parts store . just unplug and spray both ends real good plug back in, problem solved!!!

I have a 2003 Honda Accord and my air conditioning system works great the pump and everything works great but date some days it turns off and nothing works you could try to turn on you can hear everything trying to engage but no fan and then all of a sudden a day or so is that it will turn on and work and then the next time you go to drive somewhere it will shut off and it will stay off for a while what can I do to fix this I checked the fuses I check the relay motors fine and I don't know what to do
