Relatively easy for an experienced mechanic, consult the manual for specific instructions.
Its in the fuse block - underhood.......
The clutch assemble is shot...
That depends on what you're trying to do. If you just want to make certain it doesn't turn on, unplug the clutch wire at the front of the compressor.
Advice is to replace compressor the clutch goes bad only when the compressor goes bad on this model. They are sold to guys that rebuild compressors. Napa has the best price for clutches if you still want to try. Ebay there is a guy that sell rebuilt compressors for just a little more than the new clutch.
It is the relay that energizes the clutch on the air conditioning compressor. Yes it does fail and remain closed after ignition is turned off, causing the battery to drain.
just go at it with a spanner
Get a reman compressor and don't bother dicking around with the lame one.
Check the driver belt, tensioner and the a/c clutch and compressor.......
There is not a hose under the 2001 Chevrolet blazer air-conditioner compressor. The compressor hose is on the top of the compressor.
The clutch on a 2001 Ram is not adjustable.
Nope, unfortunately on that vehicle you cannot bypass the a/c compressor pulley and run a shorter belt because it will hit the water pump...........
