A/C Compressor Clutch Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the A/C compressor clutch connector to the A/C compressor clutch.
- Connect positive battery voltage directly to the connector for the A/C compressor clutch.
- Supply a ground to the A/C compressor assembly.
- If the A/C compressor clutch is normal, there will be a "click." If the pulley and armature do not make contact ("no click"), there is a malfunction.
