 A/C Compressor Clutch Problem
Ok,
I know I am new to this forum, but here goes.
I have a 1999 Escort LX sedan. The A/C was cuting in and out last year, but was in more than out and had good pressure readings so I didn't worry about it. This year the clutch won't start. So did some checking.
Compressor clutch does not turn.
Checked voltage at the compressor..13.5 while running.
Jumpered the Clutch from the battery...bam works. Clutch spinning and Cold Air.
Ok so how can the clutch work and there be voltage at the compressor and it not work.
Before you blame the connector I already jumpered right past the connector...nada.
Please help this is mind boggling!!
I would love to blame the CCRM or one of the pressure switches, but if they were bad I wouldn't be getting voltage at the compressor...I think?
I havn't checked the charge yet, but that goes back to the voltage if I didn't have a good charge I wouldn't have any voltage at the compressor...again I think?
Please advise,
Thanks |
