A clutch for an automotive air conditioning compressor is composed of three parts. the magnetic coil the pulley the hub the magnetic coil is mounted on the front of the compressor and nestles closely insid the pulley. the Pulley is mounted on the bearing mount extension of the compressor the hub is fastened to the end of the input shaft of the compressor. It normally sits slightly above the surface of the pulley When current is introduced into the coil, the coil becomes magnetic. Then the magnetism is transferred into the pulley and it pulls the hub down to engagement.
You may have a bad compressor clutch coil, you need to check the coil and work from there................
how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
Replace belt self tensioner, if applicable. Adjust belt tension. Replace belt. Have ac pressures checked. AC compressor may be failing.
Low or no freon will cause the AC not to work. Also if the clutch on the AC compressor has failed, or if the compressor itself failed.
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.
The clutch bearing for an AC compressor is located in the center of the clutch. If the bearing goes bad, then the clutch is replaced as a whole part rather than changing the bearing.
It takes a special puller. Your local auto parts store should have one available.
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.
