    Thanks for this vidéo. Sometimes the issue is the heat sensor of outside weather.

    Thanks .. now i know a bit more...... Question if refrigerent is low or empty will it stop clutch engagement or stop coil from activating? .... When i turn on AC the my AC fan runs but clutch does not engage.... It made a noise while ago then stopped completely.... Like a bearing noise.... I think clutch, bearing and coil went at same time.... Fuse is could ... I will check relay as last resort ... Then i will replace the whole AC compressor which is about $700 😢😢😢😢 .... Bummer

    I have a problem on my ‘05 Outback XT. The A/C fans always stay on high when the A/C is turned on. They never go down to low speed.. As a consequence the engine overheats slightly unless I drive the car on the Hwy and the temp goes down thanks to the Hwy airflow.. my A/C works fine by the way..

    Was sitting in Starbucks line, ac running, smelled a burnt smell, and ac stopped blowing cold. Replaced relay, started ac and something immediately started howling. Turned off immediately. Guessing the clutch bearing went bad and blew the relay?

    Hi what if the clutch is engaged as soon as you start the car while the ac is off? Hyundai Accent se 2017. Refrigerant is full no leaks that I can see and relays are working

    I have a 97 Honda CRV clutch is engaging no cold air smelt Freon while back leaking I don't know if my evaporator is leaking can I try a can of AC would stop leak or do you recommend that running out of options also took clutch off it looked worn down could it be slipping and looking like it's engaging ever ran into anything like that any information will be helpful thank you

    Weirgly, my refrigerant depleted this winter in nyc.... not sure why, my Compressor Clutch is not engaging. I will get one of those bottle and add a little refridgerant and test but i'm taking my car to a AC pro to have it looked at after my testing.

    • @TheFlyingZulu

      Probably a major leak somewhere... Usually the clutch. You'll need to find the leak, replace the leaking parts and then have the system recharged.

    the coil on the relay was good. but im pretty sure its pitted 25 resistance is way too high

    I have issues with my A/C, will blow air but not cold air, added refrigerant as i thought that was the issue but it was reading full and no leaks as far as i could see, so I went down the UA-cam rabbit hole and found out my A/C clutch wasn't spinning, so I checked the relay, that was fine, found out I could jump the low pressure switch to see if it'll spin and it does but still no cold air and when I went to check the pressure it read as low low.. I'm simply stumped... which reading is the right one? And how do I fix this?? Trying to donit myself.

      Your pressure has to be read with the compressor engaged so when it was on and the pressure read low that was your actual pressure

      What is the link to get the relay with the switch

  • @angieb825
    @angieb825 17 днів тому

    The can literally tells you if that isn’t moving then do not apply refrigerant.

  • @freeboysofsummer1526
    @freeboysofsummer1526 Місяць тому

    so low air will cause the clutch not to engage

    • @junioriii302
      @junioriii302 26 днів тому

      No freon will cause the clutch to pause, so it won't burn out the whole compressor.
