Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Default 2001 Ford Escape with AC issue!

Hi All,
I recently purchased a 2001 Escape with V6. I always like to join forums of the cars I own.

Of course I do have an issue and was wondering if someone had some insight.

The AC is blowing warm. The AC clutch is not engaging.

I have done some testing.

1) I jumped the low/high pressure switch No result

2) I hooked direct 12v power to the clutch and it worked and the AC blowed nice and cold

3) I checked all the fuses, they are all in good shape.

4) I swapped relays with a identical one right next to it in the fuse box

5) If I hook up power to the number 5 relay terminal the clutch kicks on

I am not sure what is not telling it to turn on, I havent pulled the dash apart because I wanted to get some other opinions.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
