    yep i thought about this na... what i did was to turn off the main thermostat sa dashboard, and the thermostat installed by the aicon guy, then tried driving around. wala, compressor doesn't come on (a/c fan ON ha). when i turned on the main thermostat, wala pa din. when i turned on the aircon guy's thermoswitch, ayun, umandar, hehe.

    na-bypass na talaga yung main thermostat nung aicon guy hehe.

    walang kwenta ang mga surplus compressors kasi you will just need to replace every time it becomes defective. palpak yang mga yan whether it's from banawe or evangelista. nakadalawang palit kami. yung 1st comp. namin tumatagas ang freon. yung 2nd comp. di rin namamatay para mapahinga yung engine. the same
    problem that you have right now - an aircon that does not automatically turn off
    after a few minutes of use. the aircon must also automatically turn off when you accelerate fast after pressing the gas pedal hard. that's why we opted to install a brand new compressor. talagang magastos yan sa gas kasi the engine no longer rests when it's turned on. mga 20thou nagastos namin kasi we had to replace some parts which were probably affected by the dysfunctional compressor. mitsu lancer auto namin
