Its either a mechanical or electrical problem. Check ac clutch fuse then check for voltage at the connector to the clutch. Next check continuity through the coil in the ac clutch. Some clutch actuators are brushless, older models might have a carbon brush that can wear out. The shop manual will tell you which you have. If all the electrical tests check out the clutch is seized mechanically. If the clutch cannot be separated from the pump the ac system will need to be discharged safely before the pump assembly is changed. Then re-gassed properly. You might be able to make a deal with your local garage or tyre fitting bay to help you with this.
how do you replace the AC compressor clutch on 2006 liberty
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.
Bad clutch on compressor, unplug the wires from the AC compressor, replace fuse if doesnt blow fuse its in compressor, if blows then gounded wire
pressure switch located on the accumulator
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.
Usually, on most cars, this means that the weather is cool or that there is insufficient refrigerant in the system. It can also be caused by a restriction in the AC system or high temperature or excessive amount of refrigerant in the system.
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.
Yes, because the compressor clutch will disengage during starting. But you will save a small amount of fuel by waiting until the engine is warm to start the AC.
