- 1996 Explorer Eddie Bauer
Hello,
I am having an issue with my a/c clutch not engaging on my 1996 Explorer Eddie Bauer with around 180,000 miles. The a/c clutch will only engage when I jump the pins in the relay within the power distribution box. I am not exactly sure about these numbers but I believe they are the 86 pin and the 87 pin. If you are looking as if in the driver's seat it is the pin on the right side connected to the pin in the middle.
I have recently checked fuses and the relay works when switched with alternatives.
I have replaced the entire compressor. I have replaced the accumulator. I have replaced the orifice tube. I replaced the R134a while system was on when jumped.
Everything works when jumping those pins and the a/c is blowing cold. When I replace the jump with the relay the compressor disengages. Please help me find a solution; the idea of another summer in Georgia without a/c is keeping me up at night. Thank you for your time.
