Hi Brian,
Excellent detail and just what I was after So +2 from me
My aircon does not work; I have got to the point where I connect the battery +ve to the compressor clutch relay socket to make the clutch engage. I see a slight sparking at the battery terminal as I connect the wire but do not get a click noise from the clutch area. From your electrical diagram this terminal on the relay base goes direct to the electromagnetic clutch coil on the compressor. Since I am getting some arcing at the battery terminal when I dab the wire on then there is a load present. I am now ***uming that the coil is working and that the clutch is seized off. I can turn the inner part of the clutch pulley when I have this cable connected or not. I have just tried again and can actually feel this inner hub slightly deflect when I connect the cable but no positive click noise or gripping of this hub. My next step is to try and examine this clutch. Since there is gas pressure I don't want to get it evacuated unless I have to, I also want to be able to drive the car. Is there a guide on how to remove the compressor, check the clutch etc or any advice would be appreciated?
