Ford focus 2009 ac not working?
On my cars last service they garage reported my ac isn't working, they checked the gas and said mechanically everything is ok.
I've tried to do a bit of fault finding, i've tested all the relays and fuses all ok. I've tried putting a paper clip in the pressure sensor to force the ac clutch on not worked. Does this mean i've got a faulty ac clutch/compressor or is there something else stopping it working.
You said you "tested" the relay and fuse so I assume you have done that with a test light. So back track the power from the compressor, if you have power to the compressor then it would be the coil if you don't follow the wires back until you get power.
Run a hot wire from the battery positive post and see if the magnetic clutch activates. You can also probe the clutch wire with the motor running and the AC turned on to find out if the wire has 12 volts as it should.Is the condenser fan coming on when the AC is turned on?
If you had a lube joint tell you anything ignore what they said a try charging the system with a can of 134a with the sealer in it. 90% of the time people have a small leak and the system drains down during the Winter.
If its the same compressor clutch setup as various other Fords, there's a shim under the clutch plate that sets the clutch clearance.
As the clutch wears, the gap gradually opens up and eventually it stops engaging properly.
When that happens, you need to put a _thinner_ shim in to set the gap back to what it should be.

- Ford e250 Rear Blower Not Working? I own a 2000 Ford e250 Starcraft Conversion Van, and the rear blower control doesn't work (AC or heat) But the front blowers work just fine. When the rear blowers turn on, nothing happens at all. Could it be a fuse or the motor itself?
- My radio on my 2008 ford focus is not working? I have been having trouble with my 2008 ford focus's radio. All the lights come on and I can change the volume and channel but the speakers make no noises. And very rarely it will work. I have tried to switch it to AUX and CD but neither make noise either. I have checked a few fuses but I didn't see any fuses that might be causing the issue and I don't know if fuses can only sometimes work. Please let me know if you have any ideas, thank you.
