My wife's 06' Escape has sparks coming from the AC compressor when the AC or defrost is on. I assume that it is the clutch/pulley. My question is how should I go about replacing this. Is it possible to replace the clutch/pulley or will I have to have the system evacuated and replace the whole compressor? I have no experience with AC systems in vehicles. Any advice/help would be much appreciated.

 

clutch pulley is replacable, get the real motorcraft part is what I'm told....www.tousleyfordparts.com should have it at employee cost

 

just a freindly word of advice from previous experiences.. go ahead and replace the whole compressor and clutch as usualy when one messes up the other is not far behind it .
