delayed AC start - kicks in after a while
Hi
Something is up with the AC system... yesterday I noticed the AC kicked in after a couple of minutes and some playing around with the controls on the touch screen. I had the car parked at a parking lot, the outside temperature was in the upper 80s F and the AC setting was about 70 F. I let a minute pass by and blowing air was NOT cold. I did not hear the compressor kick in either.
When I set the temp to max cold, I heard the compressor kick in and cold air was blowing as it would normally. Then I set the the temperature setting back to 70 F and it still kept blowing cold air, which is fine.
What could be the problem? And is there anything else I should look for?
Thanks!

usual suspect is a bad a/c relay, you can replace it for a few dollars and it clips in and out.
