The motor overheats if car is not moving. Checked all fuses and changed the compressor relay in the fuse panel.
Answer Check the computer for fault CODES.
1. Ignition ON. Engine OFF.
2. Simultaneously push and hold the OFF and WARMER (^) buttons on the climate control panel for 3 seconds and release the buttons.
3. Look at the fuel data display and tell me EVERYTHING you see as if you were video taping it.
4. When the display stops at PCM?. shut OFF ignition.
