- 2016 Ford Explorer XLT
My 2016 XLT just started blowing fuse #16, AC clutch relay, and of course the AC is not working.
I disconnected both the black and gray connectors from the compressor. Both show 12v with a good fuse and the AC on.
When I plug in the gray connector (believe goes directly to compressor), the fuse does not blow but no AC.
When I plugin the black connecter (believe goes to clutch/coil), the fuse blows within just a few seconds, but I get a hint of cold air.
So guessing I need to replace the clutch? Anything else I should look at? Anyone ever changed just the clutch on a 2016 without removing the compressor?
