- 1992 Explorer Sport: 4x4
Has anyone else had this issue? I drive a 92 Sport, 4X4. I bought the vehicle knowing that the A/C didn't work, I checked under the hood and noticed that the compressor wasn't "plugged in": the small harness that plugs into the top of the compressor was unplugged and tucked underneath the 4.0 cover. I plugged it in, pumped some coolant into the system, and everything was hunky dory until my AC/heater fan went out a couple weeks ago. That's unrelated to the main reason behind the thread, but I'll take any advice concerning what to check concerning the fan.
Anyway, after the fan went out I noticed that cool air would seep into the cab while I was at speed, with the A/C turned off. While idling the compressor would engage for a couple of seconds then turn off for a few, rinse and repeat. I unplugged the harness again because I'm not sure the effect that an always-running compressor would have on the vehicle. If anyone out there has any ideas, I'm happy to hear them.
