Default A/C Problems and External Temperature

A/C- took my car to have it serviced. They checked out the condensor etc charged with freon and it held the charge. However when they turned it on the A/C would not come on. When driving I have noticed that it wasn't on and then all off a sudden it came on. then after awhile it went off...any ideas on what it might be. Is there a reset switch or is it some connection, electrical system etc.

External Air Temperature. on my display panel the external temperature reading does not correspond with the outside temperature. If its 70 outside the reading on the display panel may say 33 it goes up to 35 or so and then drops back down, it continually fluctuates. I replaced the external sensor located behind the front bumper and it still doesn't work, same fluctuations any thoughts

still trying to avoid going to the Jag dealer and spending thousands

thanks

I'm having a similar problem, except my outside temperature is reading correctly. My air will be working just fine, very chilly, then out of the blue the cold air will just go away and it's just a fan blowing warm air everywhere. I would also like to avoid going to the dealership to get this fixed.

Do a forum search. This is very common. There are other older forums that talk about troubleshooting and fixing these problems. Good Luck!

I am having somewhat the same problem - my 2003 S-type occasionally starts blowing hot air when the air conditioner is on. If I turn the control to the lowest setting (60 degrees), I then get cold air out of the center vent and hot air out of the side vents. I can get the whole system to "reset" if I turn off the engine, wait about 30 seconds, and then restart the engine. The air comes out of all vents cold then. My local Jaguar Dealer inspected it and found low freon. they added, freon, checked the freon for leaks (found none), but this situation of occasional hot air still happens, irregularly. I would really appreciate any solution which others have found to solve the problem.
