My AC don't have a solar radiation sensor and I'm glad it's old once again. Besides - instead of pretending - why not call it a heat sensor? What solar radiation is really penetrating the hood? Or is this a cabin sensor to detect heat transfer through the glass?

I was curious, what does your engine temp look like when the A/C won't work? I think some cars have built in protection that will not allow the compressor to kick in if the motor temp is too high.

I'm probably blowing smoke out in left field on this, but are your cooling fan(s) working properly? I believe that one of them is tied into the A/C system to come on when setting at an idle state such as in stop and go city driving. This keeps air flow across the condensor. Time to get a copy of the electrical shop manual and start tracing electrons. Good luck.
