AC Cycling Switch Replacement
I need a new AC cycling switch.
I have an adjustable timer relay module kicking around, I was wondering about using it to run the compressor clutch. What would you think if I set it for 10 seconds on and 10 seconds off, Think it would work?

I would hit up a junk yard. Those switches were used on multiple vehicles. It might not be exactly the same but should be close enough. If you find something that works you may be able to buy a new switch.
10 seconds isn't much time and there are many variables as to how long the compressor would run. Might not work too well.

Right now my compressor is wired to run steady when AC selected.
This module has adjustable on and off interval controls, 1 to 60 seconds.
maybe 20 seconds on and 20 seconds off. Might be an interesting experiment.

This was my strategy for a new cycling switch. I still need to dial in the switch temps but it works pretty well.
