    My carrier comfort pro turns on and works great. All features work. Then stops and shuts down and on the display the temp light is lit up. Doesn't appear 2 be hot. Also checked fuses and the temp sensor and air intake. All seems ok. Was working fine and only thing I did was rinse out the ac condenser find with a water hose

    Ya checked around everywhere and don't see anything. The main little control box with the digital lights in the actually APU box had came lose and I had 2 rig it up and zip tie it a few days ago. Has a couple bumps you can tell from rattling around when it came lose. But what gets me is I can start it 20 times in a row and it starts everytime and works for 2 mins roughly. At home now and nearest place is 250 miles and leaving back out for 3 weeks on wed. And will have no time once out. Fml

    Ever think to check the oil? When was the last time you had it serviced?

    Looks like one of the safety sensors coolant or oil is shut it down, Buy a can of liquid ele. tape and cover the wiring leading to control box that got rub, just get flashlight and go over all wires then cover all rub spots you can find
