Is your Escort a 91 to 96 or is it a 97 to 2002?
the relay swiych nseems to be heating up causing the a/c to shut off
The a/c compressor runs off a relay switch. Look in your owner's manual to find the location of the switch and replace if necessary.
No. Chevy did not use Inertia switches, Only ford did. You need to check fuel pump relay and fuse.
First you need to check the a/c relay switch located in the fuse box in the engine compartment, try switching it with the cooling fan relay,if this does not work, then you probably have a leak in the system and your a/c pressure switch is not allowing the a/c clutch to engage.
On vehicles that are equipped with a RELAY for the A/C system. You will find that if you have a faulty RELAY that the A/C sytem will not work. This is because the relay acts as a switch to supply power to the sytem when the switch is engaged. When one goes bad it could be broked, burt or in most cases stuck in the closed position.
The Camry's fuel relay is located in engine fuse box. When you open the fuse box you will see the relay is marked C/O (circuit open relay) this is your fuel pump relay.
When you open the hood, the fuel pump relay switch is located on the driver side under the black fuse box towards the back of the car. The fuel injector relay is also located under there along with the A/C relay.
check the library for a shop manual and wiring diagrams, assuming your talking about the A/C, there is a low freon pressure switch you can jump TEMPORARILY to see if the compressor and circuit are ok..good luck:)
There is a WOT A/C relay - Wide Open Throttle A/C relay - that shuts off the air conditioning compressor when you floor the gas pedal The wac relay is a solid state relay usually used to control the air conditioning compressor's clutch.
The inside ac fan doesn't have a relay. The resistor is part af the motor housing, there is a switch, and a fuse.
I had the same problem. It is caused by a loose/bad connection between the a/c switch and the relay to the blower/compressor. If you remove the radio, you will find what looks like a "plug" that has a number of wires running into it (the relay), that connects to the a/c switch in the dash. If you unplug this relay the a/c stops working completely. I unplugged the relay and with a very small screwdriver bent the edges of the connectors inside it on all the wires, to make sure that each of the wires was making good contact with the metal "tabs" on the a/c dash switch. If you pull off the dial in the dash and remove the plastic nut (a little tricky) you can take the switch all the way out of the dash and plug it straight into the relay to test the connections and make sure they are solid and firm. I had tried everything, including replacing the switch, with no luck, but this solution has solved the problem. The a/c now works on 1, 2, 3 and 4. Good luck! I had the same problem.

In the Power Distribution Box in your engine compartment ( PD BOX is " live " ) Relay # 29 is the fuel pump relay ( it's beside relay # 25 which is the A/C clutch relay )
