To change the AC compressor clutch on a 2001 Peterbilt, first, disconnect the battery and remove the serpentine belt from the AC compressor. Next, remove the compressor from its mounting bracket to access the clutch assembly. Use a puller tool to detach the clutch from the compressor shaft, then install the new clutch by reversing the removal process. Finally, reassemble everything, reconnect the battery, and check the AC system for proper operation.
Yes, you can remove the clutch from the air compressor on a 2001 Dodge Caravan without removing the entire compressor, but it requires some care. You will need to access the clutch assembly by removing the retaining nut and possibly the snap ring, then carefully pull off the clutch. Ensure the compressor is not under pressure and that you have the appropriate tools to avoid damaging any components.
Relatively easy for an experienced mechanic, consult the manual for specific instructions.
Its in the fuse block - underhood.......
The clutch assemble is shot...
That depends on what you're trying to do. If you just want to make certain it doesn't turn on, unplug the clutch wire at the front of the compressor.
Advice is to replace compressor the clutch goes bad only when the compressor goes bad on this model. They are sold to guys that rebuild compressors. Napa has the best price for clutches if you still want to try. Ebay there is a guy that sell rebuilt compressors for just a little more than the new clutch.
It is the relay that energizes the clutch on the air conditioning compressor. Yes it does fail and remain closed after ignition is turned off, causing the battery to drain.
just go at it with a spanner
Get a reman compressor and don't bother dicking around with the lame one.
Check the driver belt, tensioner and the a/c clutch and compressor.......
To change the AC compressor on a 2001 Lincoln Navigator, first, disconnect the battery and recover the refrigerant from the AC system using a recovery machine. Next, remove the serpentine belt and disconnect the electrical connectors from the compressor. Unbolt the compressor from its mounting bracket, remove the suction and discharge lines, then install the new compressor by reversing the steps. Finally, recharge the AC system with refrigerant and check for leaks.
Nope, unfortunately on that vehicle you cannot bypass the a/c compressor pulley and run a shorter belt because it will hit the water pump...........
