Ford Taurus 03, AC clutch won't engage and feron won't flow in while charging?
I have replaced the ac compressor, dryer, orifice tube, and condenser then vacuumed the system and let is set for 30 mins and no leak was observed. Now, I'm using a set of manifold to charge it the system. Connected first can 12 oz and went great, system started to charge and the can got cold then connected second can but flow was a lot slower and then the flow stopped. I'm only charging on the low side of course and the high side is closed. I have noticed that the manifold gauges on the high and low are reading really high around 110 psi on the low and 100 on the high. The system is not accepting any gas flow anymore and at this time the compressor clutch won't engage. The compressor is brand new and filled it will oil prior to the installation. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, please any help and guidance will be appropriated. What course of actions should I take? Thanks.
P.S. The total refrigerant shall be 34 oz so I don't think the system is overcharged. I think I have about 16 oz at the most in there. Also, replaced the blown A/C clutch relay, PCM keep alive pwoer fuse 10A.
You have to bypass the ac cutoff switch. Ir should be located on your the condenser. You need a paper clip to do it and what you are jumping is the PLUG ITSELF, not the thing that the plug plugs into.
That should cause your ac clutch to engage. Keep in mind that you only want to run your car like this for 45 seconds or so. As running an ac without freon is like running an engine without oil.
Yes, totally forgot! Your AC clutch isn't engaging because your freon pressure is low.
As some fridgies have said to me when gassing up electronic controlled commercial systems make the compressor run. Get the wiring diagram and get power onto the compressor clutch for a few seconds
Fords have a bad solenoid on the compressor, start with that
- I have a 2008 Ford Taurus Limited. The air cond. Compressor is taking forever to engage? The problem gets worse the higher the outside temp. And when the car is idling. Freon level is normal, and the compressor is not short cycling. Any ideas? Forgot to add that the condenser fan is running non-stop at idle when compressor is not cycling.
