Hey Guys,
I've been reading up on some AC fixes for when it begins to blow air and have knocked a few items off the list. Basically as far as I know the AC all of a sudden began blowing warmer air. Took a look at the compressor clutch and it wouldn't move with the ac on. I first checked all of the fuses and all of them were fine. I then went out and got a refill kit with gauge to test pressure. My first test of pressure showed 25psi while the car was running on max cold. I then added a bit in since it was a hair on the low side on the gauge and nothing changed. I then ran a jumper wire on the low side switch and the clutch kicked right in. I just replaced the low side switch from ford and now the clutch kicks in but it cycles on for about 1.5 seconds then turns off and does the same thing every 5-10 seconds or so. I went back into the car the ac doesn't feel that cold. Put the pressure up to about 35/40 psi and it continues to cycle from 45psi to 25 psi in that second or so the clutch cycles and then it shuts back off. Was wondering what else can be causing this problem.
Thanks for the help.
Need this fixed before the knotts trip next week.
