relays good, when jumping 86 &87a clutch engages and stays on. No cycling.
Isn't relay power supposed to be coming from pin 30.
In my experience relays always have power with key (on and sometimes even with key off). That power is sitting there waiting for a ground connection to energize the relay, then power is transferred to whatever is powered by the relay, turning it on.
Showing 12V at pin 86 sounds normal.
would it b ok to run it "jumped" for a week.
Another question, what does the eatc relay re-solder fix? does it have anything to do with compressor clutch engagement, send power to compressor?
The "EATC re-solder fix" is to re-solder the connections for a small relay inside the EATC unit which controls the A/C clutch operation.
As far as running the compressor non-stop (without allowing it to cycle) for a week. Do so at your own risk. It might be okay, but it could freeze up the evaporator or even blow a hose because the pressure is too high.
