I went to go drive it around a little bit, and noticed that the two fans up front intemittently turn off/on at idle. It's a noticeable fluctuation between the system having air pushed through with them on and it simply sucking up ambient air with them off.

Another thing, the car shakes quite a bit when the fans shut on and off.. it feels like there's a lot of pressure.. lol?? Is the shaking the compressor turning off/on?

Isn't there any way to just keep the fans turned on while I sit idled? It doesn't make sense for them to want to turn off when it's 100+ outside.. (air is still coming through the vents when the fans shut off, it's not nearly as cold.. and it's usually hot)

I can't seem to pinpoint the issue when idling and parked.. sometimes the fans stay kicked on, other times they fluctuate off and on.. other times they just stay off.. but pretty much anything 35mph+ is cold..
