Then you must buy a complete rebuilt compressor, they are available on Ebay for cheap.

SOURCE: AC Compressor clutch problem

Hi

This could be any number of things, low system pressure, chattering relay, faulty cycling switch, failed compressor, poor cooling, the list goes on.

I'm afraid this is a job for the professionals!

Very best regards

SOURCE: AC Compressor clutch

i belive this type of compressor only has one 10 metric bolt in the center, the others should be rivets if they are loose the cluch is gone, but most likelly the only tool you migh need is a snap ring plyers to remove the snap ring that holds the pulley behind the front disc plate, i hope and this help
but if not if i'm wrong then go to autozone or checker and they have this toll kit to replace the clutch and it is call loan tool
the sevice allow you to pay for the tool and take it back for a full refund, in other words loan tool, good luck

SOURCE: a/c compressor replaced but new one does not engage clutch

you need to jump the low freon switch to refill the system...this will turn on the clutch until you have freon in the system.

I had the same issue with my 2006. I thought the compressor clutch bearings were faulty. After further research, the rattling noise was actually coming from the serpentine belt tensioner. Easy repair!
Hope this helps.

2007 Dodge Caravan 2.4L DOHC. AC Compressor knocks when air is turned on, but not when off. Any ideas?

You probably need a new compressor. Even though the belt turns the pulley anytime the engine is running, the clutch only engages the compressor when the AC is turned on.

O4 nissan maxima is blowing hot air from AC unit, i had leak repaired. Could it be a bad Ac relay or Compressor?

what was replaced?? to fix your issue??need more info. I have 04 max my self and very common issue is the low side ac line leaking. you need to look at the front of the ac compressor if the whole thing is spinning with ac on. if the whole clutch is not turning and the pulley ONLY is, than the ac is not turning on and it could be several things. anything from low charge, to low side pressre switch issue, or major leak somewhere.

01taurus 3.0 dohc ac compressor is going bad calls

If the clutch is ok then you don't need to do anything, just don't turn on the ac, other than that you can sometimes bypass by using a smaller belt, just be careful you run all pulleys the right way, the job to remove and replace the new compressor should only take 2 hours

Bypass ac compressor with shorter serpentine belt 2001-02 Mercury Sable LS

Because in most cases the routing will not work without the pulley for the compressor being in use. That's why some engines have a dummy pulley available to use in place of the compressor.
Not using the compressor pulley can cause the belt to drive a pulley the wrong direction, or not have the grooved side of the belt on a pulley.

Ac coil bad smell Chevrolet 04

The ac pulley clutch is controlled by a coil behind the pulley and the clutch snaps together when the ac is turned on.. If the smell is coming from that area then there is a short in the coil and it will have to be replaced. If the compressor shaft can still be turned by hand then there will be no need to replace the compressor or go into the gas system as it can be done from the front of the compressor in car

I have a 2003 Mercury Sable and the AC comprssor is about to break my question is can I still drive my car if the compressor does bresk.

If the compressor locks up or the bearing goes bad in the clutch, it will ruin the belt. All the accessories attached to the belt will not work, like your alternator, power steering pump, and most importantly your water pump.

How much compressor oil do I add when changing the ac compressor on a 04 expedition with front and rear ac?

When replacing the compressor the dryer should also be replaced, you put 2oz of oil in compressor and stand compressor on pulley for 5 min, then after install turn clutch 10 turns to pump most oil out of compressor, the dryer should have 2 oz of oil also, if you are flushing the ac system out with a solvent then more oil is needed for the system, if your just replacing the compressor then 2oz in compressor.

Warm AIR comes out WHEN AC UNIT is on i just

Possible Low on Freon, Bad Compressor Clutchhead, Blown hose, which in turn let all the freon out. Manually power up the single wire going to the compressor with the car running and see if the compressor clutch head turns on. If so Odds are the compressor is good. Check all hoses and compressor for buildup of oil which would be assumed as a leak.

BAD BEARINGS ON AC CLUTCH ON A 2000 DODGE DURANGO

Buy a whole new clutch for about $200. You need a special puller to remove the old one if you intend to refurbish it. It's not worth the effort. Just remove the clips and knock the old one off with a hammer. Chuck it away and replace with a brand new clutch assembly.
