    Hi all, I have a 2011 vnl300 and recently the a/c has been acting up. When I first turn the truck on I’m not getting any air out of the vents and once I start going down the road I will get air, just not cold air. Neither the ac or recycle air buttons will light up when this happens. After some time all of a sudden the ac will kick on and work perfectly fine and I won’t run into this issue again until I turn the truck off and start it up again. I’ve checked the fuse panel under the dash and see 2 separate fuses related to climate control but both of them are fine. Is there a relay somewhere in this panel tied into the ac that I should check, or has someone had a similar problem and found a solution? Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

    Can you hear your a/c fan running? It has to run for the a/c to work.

    Yes, once the ac kicks on its as if nothing is wrong, It’s just the initial 20 minutes or so that I’m driving where it won’t turn on.
