Hi guys, I am new to this site and would appreciate any help. I have a Ranger Edge 2004 3.0 (4x2). My problem is that when I turn the AC on it takes about 3-5 minutes before the compressor kicks in. Any ideas what it could be? It used to kick on when you turned the AC on, now theres a long delay.

 

It could just be corroded relay connection.

Open engine bay Fuse/Relay box
Look for A/C relays on legend, remove each and check its connectors, then reinsert.
If there is no legend then just remove every relay and put it back one at a time.

Simply removing and reinserting can fix the problem.

Other issue could be low pressure switch on the "freon" line, but long shot.

 

ok, thank you

 

Look at the Blower Motor Resistor to it might be corroded
