Should be a pressure switch located on the top of the air drier/acculmulator -- jump this with a paper clip and clutch should pull in allowing you to charge system
easy if you have put power to clutch from battery and system is in vacuum and centure of clutch is turning with the motor in means to say your valve plate is dead in side compressor.
If the clutch disengages properly then the compressor should not be running. Most likely the clutch itself is bad instead of the compressor.
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
The ac compressor clutch is mounted on the front of the compressor and is a replaceable part. However depending on the complexity of the clutch change out it may be overall better to change the compressor and clutch together.
It should be right on the front of the compressor - usually the clutch is inside the v-belt/serpentine pulley on the compressor
Bad A/C compressor clutch. Bad A/C compressor clutch.
AC Compressor clutch relay may be stuck. Remove the relay and see if the clutch releases.
how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.
It's either low on charge, has bad wiring, needs a new pressure switch or needs a new clutch.
The clutch bearing for an AC compressor is located in the center of the clutch. If the bearing goes bad, then the clutch is replaced as a whole part rather than changing the bearing.
My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!
