    So my air conditioner doesn't work when in park, sitting at a light (in D). And only work when moving and rpms at about 1500 and higher.

    Has anyone else had this problem? Or anyone know what the problem is?

    I'm thinking its a bad clutch. If it is is there any way to adjust it?

    EDIT: I will look at it tomorrow and try to adjust it if at all possible. And currently looking through FSM.

    Well its looks like its a magnetic clutch, so can't adjust that.

    Any ideas?

    This never happened until recently when I went back to San Diego.

    Checking this relay tomorrow (got this from the FSM):

    Have your freon level checked.

    I had a very small slow leak in the condenser of my 05 Dbl cab that 3 different mechanics could not locate, 1 being a relative.

    It blows cold and always has. Just for a while it just would not work until higher rpms.

    But Its all good now.
