You have a built in "thermistor" or a protection device that doesn't allow the switching mechanism to burn up or start a fire if someone, usually a child, holds the lock button down for extended times. This unit is heat sensitive and will start to show signs of failing first in warmer temps.
If it's really cool out, they have a tendency to still operate once in a while.
If that's happening to you, that's a good place to start.

Just found this link in the F-250 super duty forum. It better explains what I mention above.

Was told the it is called the black death.

and need to be replaced.

Any ideas?

Ck that your a/c clutch engages, your system isn't leaking and low with freon, knowing you have a low pressure sensor to protect it from running if low.
It could be simple fixes once checked if not a bad compressor, etc.

It would be interesting to know what the lines get clogged with as this is a closed system, and the lines are fairly large.
