Title: Air Conditioning Problem?
Post by: kenika65 on June 20, 2008, 06:31:35 PM

Hello everyone, Right now I currently have a wire connected directly to the compressor clutch and I connected it to the fog light relay, so that when I turn my fog lights on my compressor turns on, ha... ghetto I know but here in TX you will reget it if you drive with out A/C.

So what happens is when I click my blue a/c button the compressor will turn on for only a few seconds then turn of, not because it is low on freon or overfilled, what happens is the blue button will flash and that is when the compressor turns off.

So what I found is that the compressor stops getting power when the button flashes, So I tryed a new K7 relay and 19 & 20 fuses with no change? I have also tryed to jump the lowpressure switch and that made no effect.

So now im thinking bad ground or connection idk.

Thanks for the help
