This problem has only occurred less than once a year for 4 years. you are correct in saying take it to a shop but I enjoy learning about cause and possible solution for my Talon. As mentioned it occurred yesterday but today it’s back to normal when I tried to get it to repeat, could it be a weak fuse , switch any of you had similar circumstance? Would really appreciate anyone’s input and ,of course if it becomes more troublesome I will take it to and expert Thanks
 
This it, I Love it all stock, 40,000 miles close to new in and out

If the problem is very intermittent the problem is almost certainly electrical. Possible causes:
- loose/bad wiring at the compressor
- bad wiring/thermal switch in the evaporator case
- bad a/c switch (dash control)
- blockage of the a/c drain port (allowing water to build up and freeze on the lines, causing the thermal switch to trip)

My A C went warm ( Shutting off and setting a few hours it blew real cold)and this time and last their was no water discharging from ac drain port I think you were correct about plugged drain port as water does discharge when working correctly,any suggestion on how to clean drain port ,it is I nterminent and I don’t want to make it completely plug by forcing compressed air up the drain hose, diagram would be real helpful.
Thanks again
 
After checking several good suggestions, I had my R12 converted to 134a and my a/c now blows really cold, was initially told I had a bad compressor but not so,thanks for your help
