Hi again,
'93 Explorer, 6 cyl. stock.
Ac blows cold for about a minute then gets hot. I looked and the compressor is not running. Things I did to troubleshoot:
1. I hot wired the compressor it so it would stay running for checking it out.
2. I checked the low side pressure and it's about 45 psi.
3. pulled the hot wire off.
4. check voltage with clutch wires disconnected, 14 volts.
5. check voltage with clutch wires connected, 0 volts.
6. Idle speeds up when I connect the clutch wires.
I'm an AC retard, but I'm hoping this will give you enough information to help me help myself! I really don't know how it all works.
thanks,
Jim
