HOW TO TEST A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL (TEST BEFORE REPLACING)

How to test A/C compressor clutch coil on a vehicle. If the A/C is blowing warm air and clutch is not engaging the clutch might be the problem. Testing the clutch is simple and it only requires giving it power to activate the clutch coil.

Good straight forward process of diagnosis.

Thank you for the content! Like learning new stuff! Very informative! Especially about motors/ engines/ cars.

My pulley engages when I turn the ac on but the center if the clutch doesn’t sprint. Like the bolt doesn’t moved but the pulley starts spinning when i turn the ac on. Why is that? Clutch problem?

How to check the clutch when it is still installed? You test it when it is removed. Can I use a battery voltage directly using a power probe to engage the clutch? How do you determine positive and ground wire?

will the ohms be off if it's hot outside?

Bit of a bizarre question. Is it possible to wire a standard belt driven A/C compressor, like you have here, directly to a battery or an inverter (whichever the current is needed to supply power to the compressor) to actually power the compressor while the car is turned on but the engine isn't running? Obviously, if possible, the radiator fan would also be connected to the car's power supply like this, and it will also have a killswitch to turn it off. I'm trying to figure out a way to run my A/C while sitting in my car without needing to idle my car to stay cool. I am planning to set up a dual alternator and several gel batteries in the car, too, for power storage.

“When I supply power”. Is one pin already a ground when its in the car? You completely failed to give ANY detail on who what when where why power supply. To what? Where which pin. Had to run a ground because it is out of the car? Only need to ground power probe ti vehicle ground and pin without ground to casing is the switch leg? No one god forsaken video on YT shows how to do this properly or provide any details
