Compressor Clutch: Testing and Inspection




1. Disconnect the connector (1P) to the magnetic clutch.
2. Connect battery (-) to compressor body.
3. Connect battery (+) voltage directly to the connector for the magnetic clutch.
4. If the magnetic clutch is normal, there will be a "click". If the pulley and armature do not make contact ('click'), there is a malfunction.
