Hi guys;
My a/c was fixed a few weeks ago by replacing the compressor.After a few days the compressor clutch was continuously disengaging and even at times struggles to rotate.
I took it back to the workshop and they had it for 3 days.I collected it today and the a/c works fine now.I was told that the power going to the compressor clutch was inadequate.
The technician told me they connect a direct negative and positive lead from the battery and installed a relay to which the two wires was connected.The wire which should have been connected to the compressor clutch wa connected to the relay and the fourth wire from teh relay was connected to the compressor clutch.
although the a/c works fine; i wish to know if the technique used to complete the repairs is acceptable.Is it ok to have the relay installed with power from the battery.On the positive lead a fuse was connected.I guess for protection.
all suggestions will be appreciated.I have a1998 Cherokee; 4.0 litre auto.
regards
