Can I Straight Wire my AC compressor?

Can I Straight Wire my AC compressor?

Running the compressor straight, 12v constantly, can fry the compressor or worst yet cause something to burst. Some compressors have safety valves that will release refrigerant after reaching a pre-set pressure, say 400 psi. What prevents this from happening is the high pressure cut off switch/sensor.

Where is the a / C control relay located?

The A/C compressor relay is located inside the IPDM and is not serviceable you will need to replace the unit. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Is there a relay for the compressor clutch?

Okay, there is no relay for the compressor clutch, it is solid state. The PCM sends a signal to the TIPM and then off to the compressor. It is based on the input from the pressure sensors and the TIPM look at the wiring diagrams above to see for yourself!

Is there a compressor relay in the tipm?

There is no compressor relay it is controlled by the TIPM here is a wiring diagram to help you see how the system works. Check out the diagrams (Below) so you can see how the system works. Please let us know what you find.

Where is the clutch relay in the tipm?

There is no clutch relay for you to access. It is part of the TIPM. Note: The compressor relay or A/C relay is located in the IPDM (intelligent power distribution module) and is not serviceable. What is the issue with your AC system? helpful? THOMAS WOODRUFF SR. I got it. The plug came loose on the clutch. Thanks. helpful? You are welcome.

How does a relay work on an A / C compressor?

The relay in a typical A/C control installation has a three-wire connection. One wire is a ground, one wire is the input from the interior control panel and switches, and one wire is the power feed to the A/C compressor clutch. Using a 12-volt test light, connect the alligator clip to the negative terminal on the battery.

How can I tell if my AC clutch relay is working?

This test confirms that the interior A/C control switches are functioning. Now plug the relay back in and disconnect the two-wire feed at the A/C compressor connection. One wire should be “hot,” if not, the relay is not sending power to the A/C compressor. If it is, then the relay is functioning correctly and the A/C clutch is bad.

What are the wires in a clutch relay?

The relay in a typical A/C control installation has a three-wire connection. One wire is a ground, one wire is the input from the interior control panel and switches, and one wire is the power feed to the A/C compressor clutch.
