Hi Rachael21,
Does the condenser fan comes on when the AC is activated?
Does bypassing the clutch relay activate the compressor clutch?
SYMPTOM TESTS
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH INOPERATIVE (CONDENSER FAN OKAY)
NOTE: This procedure assumes refrigerant pressure is okay (A/C pressure switch is closed).
Check fuse No. 17 (7.5 amp) located in under-dash fuse/relay box and fuse No. 56 (20 - amp) located in under-hood fuse/relay box. Replace fuses if defective and retest. If fuses are okay, remove and test compressor clutch relay. Replace compressor clutch relay if defective and retest. If relay is okay, turn ignition off and remove compressor clutch relay from fuse/relay box. Using a DVOM, measure voltage between compressor clutch relay cavity No. 2 of
under-hood fuse/relay box and good chassis ground point.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH & CONDENSER FAN INOPERATIVE
Check fuse No. 17 (7.5 amp) located in under-dash fuse/relay box and fuse No. 56 (20 - amp) located in under-hood fuse/relay box. Replace fuses if defective and retest.
Let me know which of the above 2 conditions are true and I will provide additional testing procedures.
