Reasons Why the Car Air Conditioning Compressor Clutch Does Not Engage
1 Answers
There are many factors that can cause the car air conditioning compressor to fail to engage. Below are the reasons why the car air conditioning compressor clutch does not engage: 1. Compressor wiring issues: The most common reason is often related to compressor wiring problems. Most technicians will use a jumper wire across the compressor pins to check if the wiring is functioning properly. By disconnecting the power to the compressor relay and jumping the compressor pins, the compressor can be forced to engage. 2. Damaged temperature sensor or temperature control sensor: If the intake air temperature sensor or temperature control sensor in the air conditioning system is damaged, it cannot detect the temperature, and the electrical signal cannot be transmitted. As a result, the compressor cannot perform the engagement action. In this case, simply replacing the temperature control sensor will resolve the issue.
