Hello! I've tried to search this forum for info related to my problem, but I guess I'm too much a noob to figure out how to search effectively.
I have an 89 Ranger xlt, 2wd, 2.9l, 5-speed with 29k original miles. A/C clutch will not engage. The light next to the knob on the panel DOES light, so the fuse is good.. I also did check the fuse.
I am getting voltage to the low-pressure switch and did the 'jump' test on it, no clutch. I put a multi-meter on the plug at the a/c clutch and there is NO VOLTS. I traced the lead all the way to the connector before it goes into the relay box, separated it and tested for volts there coming straight from the box and there are NO VOLTS. Ground is good.
Finally, I did a DIRECT POWER jump from the battery and ground to the A/C Clutch and it runs and air blows cold.
As far as I can find, there is NO dedicated A/C Relay.
Truck runs perfectly otherwise.
Any help or direction to another thread would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
