Thermal Fuse

THERMAL FUSE
1. A thermal fuse is located on the compressor clutch coil.




2. The thermal fuse will detect clutch slip heat (184 °C off) generated by faulty compressor operation, then interrupt the coil's power supply. Therefore, the clutch bearing and the pulley bearing will not be damaged, also protecting the belt and engine. Once the thermal fuse blows the compressor will not operate. Check the clutch oil resistance (3.0-3.2 Ohms) to determine the thermal fuse condition, and replace the clutch coil if required.
