You are either low or out of Freon.
The cars sensors is telling the motor it's not cold enough so it's staying on which can burn out the bearings if not taken care of ASAP.

SOURCE: 03 impala check engen light stays on.

Did you change the right O2 sensor, there are three O2 sensor on the impala, also re check the wire harness to the sensor. It may have a break on it when the wires were manipulated to remove the old sensor. Good luck and keep me posted. You can try this, put the ignition key to the run position and pull the fuse to the ECM (batt) for 30 seconds then place it back in. Start the engine and it may stall but let it, Don't touch anything just start it again. The ECM is re learning the Engine and there should not have any check engine light on. Let it idle for 1 min then go for a test drive, if there is no light then the ECM is cleared all the dtc codes. If the check engine light is on again then the code is new and needs to be addressed. Good luck and keep me posted on the DTC code, be glad to help.

A/C compressor is engaged even when turned off inside. battery also is being drained when car is not running.

Unplug the power lead from the AC compressor.If it stays locked up it a mechanical issue with the new Clutch. If it unlocks check the following. Look at the AC Relay. If it has fused or failed in the closed position the ac clutch will remain engaged. As I don't have the vehicle details I can't provide further details

What could be the possible cause of an A/C compressor not disengaging on my 97 F150?

check that the thermostat in the evaporator box is working as it controls the ac clutch action. If it is not functioning correctly (or the relay that it controls is faulty) then it will continually read hot air and not cabin temperature.

When i bolt the ground wire to engine behind alt, the ac compressor clutch locks on and stays on with key on or off. any suggestions???

The only thing it could be is the conrtol wire of the A/C compressor clutch relay is shorted to one of the wires grounding at the alternator . The PCM - engine computer controls the grounding for the A/C compressor clutch relay. Find the A/C compressor clutch relay in the under hood fuse box , pull the relay out of the fuse box an look on the bottom . You will see four sets of numbers . 30 & 87 plus 85 & 86 . Take an ohm meter an check pin 85 to ground with the ground wire's behide the alternator connected , you will have continuity . Disconnect the ground behind the alternator an you will probably have a open circuit . When the motor was changed wire's were pinched or something . Most likely . Here , check out the wiring diagram http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on HVAC , then under subsystem click on HVAC controls . Click the search button ,then the blue link . Fourth diagram down is for the A/C compressor clutch relay circuit. Don't know if know how a computer controlled relay circuit work's . Looking at the diagram .The DB/OR - dark blue with orange trace wire would have to be shorted to one of those ground wire's for the compressor clutch to stay engaged .

A/c compreesr cluth stays on but no cool air

You replaced the ac compressor, and the clutch stays on, but the compressor does not run ???
Not sure I am following your info here.
If the ac clutch stays engaged the compressor should be running. You should have one hot and one cold ac line and the radiator fan should be running.

I have 2002 Chevy s10 with ac issues. All blend doors and actuators work properly. Clutch engages on compressor. Blows warm air when ac is on. When I put a guage on it the psI stays on max and doesn't...

Yes. When you turn on the compressor via clutch Suction line pressures at around 3000 rpm should be around 30 PSI. If pressure stays high it is because the compressor is running but it is not doing squat and needs replacement - bad reed valves.

I have a 2001 Ford Mustang V6, the ac is blowing warm air. We checked the refrigerant and it is full. The ac compressor will kick on for a few seconds and then kick off. Why is the compressor not staying...

it's either low (in spite of your readings) or your a/c clutch is not working correctly or you have too big an air gap in the clutch.
First, just disconnect the 2 pin connector from the a/c pressure cycling swithc and jumper the 2 pins with a wire to force the clutch to stay engaged. See if it blows cold then, and stays engaged. You can run this way for about 15 minutes before you have to pull the plug.

When your R-134a runs too low it will NOT engage the compressor. You need to refill your a/c system before the clutch will engage, I also suggest finding the leak.

1996 impala ss air conditioner compressor is very noisy

That clutch and coil are serviceable without replacing the compressor but I have had little success with this as usually the clutch gets in that shape subsequently from activity going on inside the compressor which means that clutch is failed generally for a reason.replace the compressor -orfice tube-reciever drier and happy motoring......
