    ...I didn't turn the reefer on. It keeps coming on and off and even at one point tried to start. It works fine when i start it but when i turn it off, it does that stupid thing. Anyone know what's up?

    General answer..; without Model Info & details.
    Check if.....your Model has an "Automated Timer Start" system.

    Its 2015 carrier (i will get the model in a bit) at one point there was alarm for high pressure discharge but the unit wasnt running. I've had this reefer for a year and this is the first time it's doing that.

    Sounds like the main board is going bad or could just be the master switch is going bad and crossing to start mode periodically with excessive vibrations. Does the master switch feel "solid" or normal or is there some flakiness in the switch? If that's the case, this may damage certain system components or boards somehow if left unchecked.
