I jump started my AC clutch compressor with a paperclip at the connector by doing so what do I need to replace so I don't have to use a paperclip anymore also by using the paperclip returned on my compressor can I leave the car running like that for a little while to get the AC running and get the free on and everything going g through the system Also how long will the AC stay running Because I can't drive down the road with a paperclip in the connector I have to plug it back in so the compressor will no longer be running
