    I really like the method. On non Fords we can use a scan tool to activate the compressor. I like your trusty window motor. I remember that one from the old old days. Back when u used to use your little Bosch for almost everything. I have a little old SnapOn someone gave me for the quick light stuff. The trigger is forward and reverse. It’s small and really light. Everything else is the Milwaukee ratchets. I use four of them. The extended one is super powerful and it gets everywhere.

    My fiancé has a 2017 F150 and while we were coming back from vacation, the AC quit. I had her pull over at a rest stop and discovered that the rubber part of the clutch had basically disintegrated leaving rubber flung all over everything. Truck had less than 33,000 miles on it and of coarse was out of warranty due to it being four years old.
    This truck has the newer 1234yf refrigerant and none of the local shops were equipped to service vehicles with this new stuff so we had to take it to the dealer to get repaired. Just replacing the clutch was going to cost almost as much as just replacing the whole compressor so she had the compressor replaced. $1,100 later she has working AC again. We tried to get them to fix it under a good will warranty but no dice. Needless to say my fiancé who is a life long Ford owner was not impressed. Her last truck was a 1 ton 2003 Ford Super Duty that she bought new and it still had all of the original AC equipment and had never been recharged in the 14 years she owned it and it still blew cold air.
    Great Video.

    Thanks for the videos. Question: 2010 F150 FX4 5.4L V8 w/ automatic climate control. A/C stopped working a couple of years ago. Finally got it diagnosed and needed a new compressor. New compressor has been installed, system charged to 58, new A/C pressure transducer, relays are good, fuses are good, put in a new blower motor resistor today, climate control cluster is functioning properly, had a second mechanic check PCM and control would send signal to turn on clutch, but it went from ON to immediately OFF. I brought it home and ran the Key On Engine Off test and clutch engaged just fine. Used Forscan to run the HVAC test and no faults. No HVAC DTC faults either.
    Wondering if you have any suggestions on my issue (other than "give and up and sweat out the Texas Summer, buddy"). I did pull get the ProDemand schematic for my VIN number and page 2 of 3 shows the Instrument Cluster on MS CAN 10 and 9 on Computer Data Lines running to the PCM HS CAN - 43 and HS CAN + 59

    Awesome video Brian. I have an issue with an 05 FX4 150. Had it at the garage this week and he couldn't figure it out. My CEL came on back in December and had it checked out. Said it was something with my a/c. Cleared the code to get the CEL light to go out but now have no a/c. Have no idea what the code was or where to begin. Going to test the diode and relay tomorrow, but all fuses are good. (Pulled them out and checked) The fellow this week told me he couldn't get power to the compressor plug and said it could be the PCM. Still has original compressor on it and figured that's what it was. Any ideas please?
    Thank u in advance

    Any idea why my 09 would have poor air flow? I've changed all actuators, fan resistor, and fan and still don't get great flow on high. It sounds like it's blowing full but feels more like half, on heat or AC.
