If the compressor doesn't click while ac is on, it could also be low on refrigerant. If you fill it up the proper way and the clutch still doesn't engage (click) then the compressor is most likely bad.

This isn't about testing the compressor, it's about testing the compressor clutch. Big difference.

[raydiesmoeljadi]

If there is no refrigerant in the system the clutch won't engage also

To jump the compressor. Unhook it and run a jump wire in both of the notches/slots, then crank the car. Done

This is actually ChrisFix voice on top …

It's either a bad clutch or the compressor is out of freon.. compressor clutches will not engage if they are below a certain amount of freon in the system to protect the unit from completely destroying it due to lack of freon

This video is exactly answered my question.. THANK YOU!! so I'll check the fuses next before throwing away at least 1000 dollars

Im not gonna lie. I was getting a bit nervous with it on the battery like that. When i was young I basicly welded a adjustable wrench to a battery. Got it off with a hammer. Scared the shit out me. Ive also had one blow in my face before so i like to keep batteries safe lol

“Need a new one” ? Need a new compressor or just a clutch if it doesn’t click?

[P_double_H]

That is not testing the compressor.. that is testing the CLUTCH of the compressor.

The compressor does more things and it could fail in other ways too. The clutch is the first thing to take a look at, but you could easily hear if the clutch is working as it will make a distinctive sound when you press the AC button. What you need to do next is show us how to diagnose a compressor... you guessed it... NOT compressing.

Is rhe clutch in parallel with the two holes? I found out if you put 2 fingers on the holes and spin the pulley, it should suction your fingers while spinning thr pulley..im thinking its parallel with the pumping..im new at working on my vehicle..

[auggie]

So question, do you you hook up the wire to a ground or hot prong on the wire plug

Hi. I have a Nissan Xterra that the compressor kicks on when I push the AC button.. but stays on.. doesn’t cycle on and off.. and all while blowing warm air. Any ideas? Thanks!

What is the best way to by pass the clutch

[frankmontez]

When the clutch gets burned up does the system get contaminated ? I want to know the likelihood of needing to replace other parts like condenser, dessicant bag . drier ? I've got a 15 Ford Fusion 2.5 L Looks bad the clutch material is coming out the front pulley

I appreciate your video…Would you happen to know what # fuses & relays I check on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe before I buy a new compressor…??

[MartinAngus]

Bmw 116d hi I've bypassed fuses and compresser clicks but doesn't go in as seen on your video, any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Good Day Sir, every time I expose the car in the Sun for longer period of time, and decide to drive. The aircon cause a strange sound and not releasing the cold. What's the cause of that problem?

[elreydq]

So what about if the clutch keeps spinning like it never stops. If so the compressor is bad or not??

[carlaborens]

My Jeep makes a clicking noise all the time whether the car is on or off. The ac goes on and off every 30 secs or so while driving, do you think that’s a bad ac compressor?
