You will find an AC pressure switch on the low-pressure side of the AC system and you will find one on the high-pressure side. RELATED: 5 Signs Your Car’s AC is Low on Freon (& What to do) 2. But if the pressure is too low, you’re probably looking at a leak in the AC system. Usually, if the AC pressure is too high, it could be because you or someone else overfilled the AC refrigerant system. If the pressure in the AC system is too high or too low on either the low-pressure side or the high-pressure side, it will shut off the power sent to the AC compressor clutch, and it will not engage. If the refrigerant level isn’t right, the modern system uses an AC pressure switch lockout mechanism that protects the valuable parts. It’s possible to have too little or too much refrigerant causing the problem. The air conditioning system needs the right amount of refrigerant to run properly. Here is a more detailed list of the most common reasons why your AC clutch is not engaging: 1. It can also be caused by a faulty high or low AC pressure switch, a blown fuse, a bad AC clutch or a bad electrical connection. The most common reason why your AC clutch is not engaging is that the AC refrigerant level is too low or too high. You can buy the heater switch instead of the control assembly for 27.Is the AC clutch supposed to spin all the time? Common Causes of AC Clutch is Not Engaging I found TSB 07-005/03Ī/C SWITCH LIGHT GOES OUT AND/OR FLASHES WITH FAN CONTROL SPEED IN NUMBER 2 POSITIONĢ001 - 2003 Protege and 2002 - 2003 Protege5 built prior to 12/2/02 and with VINs lower than JM1BJ2***3*150990. I also replaced the resister pack, behind the glove compartment. I have used contact cleaner on the switch but it only lasted a couple months. The AC drops in and and the blower continues to run. I am also having an intermittent problem with the #2 blower switch position. The horn headlight taillight, and AC relays are interchangeable. I swapped relays between the horn and AC Controller and AC clutch worked, horn failed. With the wire still connected I started the engine and turned on the AC and it works fine. With the engine turned off, I ran a jumper from the clutch wire to 12V(Positive terminal on the battery)and the clutch engaged. I disconnected the the single wire to the clutch and measured the resistance to ground on the clutch side, and it was OK 3.8 ohms. I checked the low pressure switch on the top of the dryer and it is OK(if the switch is working the condenser fan will come on when when the AC switch is turned on.

I also have an 02 Protege and the AC clutch is not engaging. I assume the clutch/compressor something is just stuck now.Ģ) Find an ac place and replace the entire compressor? ( I don't have the tools to vacuum out the ac lines).

Last night I started to smell rubber burning, assumed it had something to do with the ac, let the car cool down, then before heading to bed remembered to put the windows up, car would not start. I started looking to see if I could get just the clutch and replace that only as I didn't want to replace the entire compressor if I didn't need to. So looked at it and someone suggested it was the ac clutch going. Around this time, we noticed some 'noise' coming from the general direction of the ac compressor. I tried the recharge kit, seemed to help a little, meaning the air was colder for the 1st 20 minutes or so, then back to warm. The ac started acting up a few months ago, it would start blowing cold and then 20 minutes later nothing but warm air.
