There is a rely on the drivers side fender. It is the second relay from the front of the car. If it won't engage usually it is that there is too low or too high pressure in the system. Most of the times it it just low on freon and a sensor will not allow the compressor to turn on.
The clutch receives it's signal to engage from a pressure switch in the system. If there is insufficient refrigerant in the system the pressure switch will not close resulting in no power at the compressor clutch to make it engage.
Most Likely refrigerant charge is low -- compressor will not engage unless system has proper pressure
You don't need to engage the compressor clutch to recharge the system. In fact, you shouldn't engage it without refrigerant and oil in it, because the refrigerant carries the compressor oil in order to lubricate the compressor. But, to answer your question, you disconnect the low pressure switch, and run a jumper wire between the two female ends of the connector.
It's the low pressure switch. Check the compressor wiring and be sure it is grounding. Sometimes the clutch gap gets alittle wide and has to be regapped.
When not engaged, the wheel spins freely. When the low pressure switch closes, it closes the electrical circuit to the compressor clutch. This actuates an electromagnet, which pulls the clutch in to engage it.
Unplugging an a/c compressor shouldn't effect the heating and cooling system what so ever the only tie it has to that system is the comperessor makes the fan come on when you engage the a/c switch
This could be because you have a leak in you A/C system causing a loss of freon. When there is not enough freon in your system the A/C compressor will not engage, it will harm the compressor.
If the AC compressor engages but won't disengage, it may indicate a problem with the pressure switch, which monitors refrigerant levels. A faulty pressure switch can cause the compressor to remain engaged regardless of pressure. Additionally, issues with the AC control module or a stuck relay could also prevent the compressor from turning off. It's advisable to have a technician diagnose the system for accurate troubleshooting.
on the right side near the glove compartment theres a small box HVAC programmer for the compressor disconnect it and connect it again and it should. If the fuse is okay and relay okay compressor okay then do the above instructions
You should have the system checked for the proper amount of freeon. The compressor will not properly engage if the system is low. Hope this helps.
Thats green and black wire is the switch wire for the compressor clutch. Trace the fault back to the relay. Bridge the relay out and see if the compressor comes in, if so its either the relay, switch or fuse. If not then its the feed to the relay.The system WILL have a fuse and a relay. Hope this helps.
A Dodge Shadow does not have a reset or shut off switch. The fuel system is computer controlled with relays.
