Hello everyone.,

I have an 05 Accord v6. The AC compressor clutch not kicking in no matter what. I want to rule out a bad compressor clutch before I order a new one.

i pulled the relay, and there is current in pins 1 and 3. When I jumper 1 and 2 no engagement of clutch. Is this a sure-shot test to diagnose compressor clutch or is there another test I must do before I can rule out a bad clutch before I order a new one.

thanks everyone.

 

if you have control side switching of the relay then check the wiring on the load side of the circuit possible wiring issue if all good then suspect would be clutch

 

I'm having AC issues as well, I was able to jump the relay however in my case I confirmed cluth it engaged upon jumping the relay that is inbetween the two larger green ones on my 07 accord EX.

If you check near the power steering reservoir there is a power cable going to the AC compressor. I do not know how but there must be a way to provide that power directly while the system is running to confirm that the system is indeed not engaging.

Aside from that approach I'm currently looking for Hey Chrissy jeron how to use the integrated diagnostics in the radio for the air conditioning unit. Let me know what you find
