    You are a godsend.. 2 yrs ago my AC went out randomly while driving... so I checked the fuse box.. everything was good. No leak.. nada and I gzve up on looking and just have been using my wifes car. I changed that relay today and now its the arctic again. TX summer here I come!! Tytytyty Id hug you if I could!

    Thank you for posting this. I checked the relay, but thought it was good because I could hear it click. I replaced it and had cold AC. I could have spent a lot of time trying to diagnose this.

    Awesome. This was exactly what my problem was. Thanks for the help.
    BTW, a blue #16-#14 U type spade connector fit between the two sides of the relay for a perfect jumper.

    My 08 F-150 just started doing this immediately after two heater lines broke & wet the engine with two gallons of antifreeze. Replaced the lines. Had to replace the spark plugs & coils on one side because the truck was missing & shuddering afterward. Still shuddering hard at around 1200 rpms & now the a/c clutch won’t engage. Sometimes I wonder if this truck would be less trouble to burn to the ground than to work on incessantly.

    I went through all the fuses, tested on a conductivity meter setting. Good tone, and installed a new relay. My compressor clutch still won’t engage. It was sudden. I guess I check the Freon next.

    Thank you General Mechanic. I was quoted several hundred dollars to replace the compressor. After viewing your video, I jumped the two terminals with a 15 amp fuse. Will it damage anything if I leave the fuse in place until the new relay arrives?

  • @PatricksScaleModelShop
    @PatricksScaleModelShop Před 21 dnem +1

    I replaced this relay with one I bought at autozone. I have correct pressure in the compressor system. How possible could it be that I got a bad relay when I got the new one at autozone. Should I go buy one from somewhere else?

    My ac compressor is wired to the relay. And it stopped working.
    Any thoughts?
    There's literally a separate wire from the compressor to the relay. And it worked all last summer and then suddenly stopped.

    • @GeneralMechanicGA

      You may have a bad control module

    Great video. Thank you. Problem Solved ... kinda. I checked the relay and jumped it with a 20 amp fuse and baddabing, I'm freezin balls. Ordered a new relay that just arrived and put it on immediately and no compressor. The 20 amp fuse will still run it but neither the new nor the old relay will, so I'm like WTF? So, any idea as to WTF?

      ​@jakehoward4993 I got a different relay box from the salvage yard, cut the old one out and like a complete dumbass, didn't take a photo of the wiring before cutting the old one out and thought I'd just rewire by color code. Well that didn't work because apparently this box has something to do with the electronic ignition as well and I must have gotten something wired back in wrong because now I have power everywhere and battery is reading 12.4 but I turn the key and get absolutely nothing. No click, no crank nothing. And I can't find a wiring diagram for the relay box anywhere. Any ideas? Lol

      @@GeneralMechanicGA not true....one set of pins is the coil operated by the PCM signal....the other is a set of contacts...pluggin it in the wrong way will probably burn out the coil and at the same time blow the fuse. Since you know that the sockets are specific , you also have to use your DMM and ohm the new relay out and find the coil. It will read about 160 ohms, while the other two pins will read infinite since they are the contacts and are open.

    My 2005 f150 had my a/c working for like only 2 days … mechanics said the compressor was bad and replaced it.
    I thought maybe it had a leak but i dont think thats the issue.
    I’m not auto-savvy but i notice the clutch/compressor (idk what you call that thing down there) kept clicking/turning on and off.
    I had a somewhat similar problem on my 2002 dodge 1500 turned out to be just a faulty fuse.
    I don’t have a voltmeter and im not knowledgeable enough to troubleshoot the electrical wiring im just assuming im gonna have to buy a bunch of fuses and a few relays and just replace them all and hope it works
