did you measure the clearance of the clutch with feeler guages? theres a specific gap you need to enforce follow when you install those.
I did. I matched the air gap from the stock clutch. I tried 3 other spacers just incase, but no luck.
i dont know what you mean by "which terminals". i would try to apply power directly to the compressor though with a power probe. or at least use a test light to see if you have power going to the compressor. my guess is you may not have power since you just replaced the clutch (i asssume coil also).
i would try to figure out now why you dont have power to your compressor. maybe a critter got in there and started chewing wires, ive seen it a hundred times. maybe check your fuse again. im not sure on fords, but on hondas there may be a couple fuses for the whole A/C system between the under hood fuse box and the under dash box. is the A/C system the only accessories that arent working? it may be a whole circuit thats INOP.
Ahhh...yep that was what I was getting at. Those high current ones in the engine bay are sometimes overlooked. Glad you got it.OK figured it out. there was another fuse in the engine bay that was blown. I changed the fuse and everything is working great.Thanks for the help!
