Most of the time, there is no way to route the belt without all the pulleys in place. As long as the bearing in the clutch on the AC turns it is alright, the compressor itself does not need to work.
It is a low pressure AC clutch cut out switch. It keeps the compressor from running if the system is low or empty of freon.
More than likely the a/c compressor is bad. The compressor clutch could be shorted also.
Try jumping the two terminals of the wires which go to the low pressure switch. That's a possibility, as is low refrigerant, a bad compressor clutch, or a faulty fuse or relay to the compressor clutch.
Bad bearing in compressor? Bad bearing in compressor?
You cannot change the compressor bearing, however, you can change the clutch bearing. Which one is bad? Is there a noise when the clutch is engaged, or not engaged?
This requires special tools to remove and install the ac clutch and bearing. The air gap on the ac clutch must be done during install.
Could be a loose belt, bad bearing in the compressor, malfunctioning clutch, lack of compressor oil... any of those things.
how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
What kind of vehicle is the XE?
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
The ac compressor clutch is mounted on the front of the compressor and is a replaceable part. However depending on the complexity of the clutch change out it may be overall better to change the compressor and clutch together.
no, unless u have to remove the compressor unit. The clutch can be replaced with out removing the compressor if you have room to do it.
If the AC pulley is locking up when the ac compressor clutch engages, it's not a clutch problem, it's a compressor problem. But yes, the AC clutch can usually be replaced separately. The problem is, if the clutch is worn out the compressor is probably worn out as well. It usually isn't that much more to replace the whole thing.
At the front of the AC compressor....
If the compressor is bad or noisy and the AC clutch is okay try unplugging the AC clutch fuse or relay.
