the start relay helps the compressor start up then takes itself out of play when the compressor gets going. The older units will have a capacitor and a relay mounted in the control panel and the new ones are all in one...you just parallel the run capacitor.

How do you install a hard start kit on an air conditioner?
Common wire of the potential relay goes to the compressor contactor. (5) Start wire of the potential relay goes to compressor run capacitor. (2) Run wire of the potential relay goes to the start capacitor. (1)
What is a kit start for air conditioners?
a capacitor and relay that gives the compressor an initial boost and then cuts out of the system by way of the relay.
Where the air conditioning relay for a 1998 Ford Escort Wagon is The compressor is not starting.?
Most of the relays for the ford escort are located under the hood in a black box with white labelling on it. Also check your underdash fuses. If this doesn't repair the problem, then you might have to replace the air compressor, as they sometimes do set up. The AC compressor relay, and the AC wide-open throttle cut-out relay are in a box under the air cleaner. It is called the multi-function relay. Try tapping on it while the AC switches are on and see if it will start to work.

Where is the compressor clutch relay in 1999 rover 200 20 diesel?
The air conditioning compressor clutch relay is located on the bottom of the air conditioner compressor. The relay switch will be labeled.
What does the relay do in a compressor?
the relay in the compressor helps it to respond to pressure increase or decrease process in relation to a gas.
Would your airmatic relay cause your car to lower while its parked?
This is not the cause, this relay is to start the and run the compressor (Basically) and it will not cause the system to lower overnight.
Should a motor with start capacitor have a start relay?
The compressor motor employs both a start and run winding. The run winding is energized during the complete cycle of operation, whereas the start winding is energized only during the starting period. The current-operated type of relay has a coil connected in series with the run winding of the compressor. Some current-operated relays plug directly onto the compressor while others do not. Most relays are mounted in a case located on the compressor. When the thermostat closes, the compressor attempts to start, drawing heavy current through the run winding and the relay coil. This strong current flow through the relay coil creates a magnetic field strong enough to cause the start contacts to lift and close, energizing the start winding. When the compressor reaches approximately 3/4 running speed, the current flow through the relay coil decreases (due to the countering electrical magnetic field in the motor) and as the magnet weakens, the start contacts fall open. This type of relay must be used with an overload protector and must be mounted in an upright position, so that the contacts can fall freely to the "open" position.

How do you recharge r134a ac system 1997 Cadillac Eldorado if compressor won't start due system empty?
Jump the compressor relay next to the fuse panel under the hood. Pull the relay out and use a piece of wire to jump the contacts. Compressor will engage, with the engine running fill with your 134a.
