    I have been having trouble with the AC in my Civic. The tech replaced both
    pressure switches then the Electric Load Detector because he got a code that
    the ELD was not working right. The problem is the compressor doesn't engage
    about 50% of the time. I get air blowing but not cold. Now he is telling me he
    thinks I have low output on the alternator...
    I get a terrible buzz on my am radio when the compressor does engage.
    Any ideas?

    Try a shop that knows more about AC. They've already been using you as a
    guinea pig long enough. Hope you got your money back for the fir$t mi$take$.

    Your mechanic does not seem to be up to speed. Did he check if there is
    voltage going to the A/C clutch coil?

    What does he mean when he says "thinks I have low output on the
    alternator"? Did he measure it, or is he just guessing at problems?

    Unless you are prepared to work on this yourself, I think you should
    find yourself a better mechanic. If you post where you are located you
    can probably get some good recommendations in this NG.

    When did the warranty expire on the car?
