Hello, I am new to this forum as of this morning and need some advice. I purchased a 2001 F150 and the ac doesn't work. The r134 level is good and there is current going to the compressor at least from the wire coming out of the top canister where the ac is charged. I can turn the clutch freely with my hand and the clutch fuse is good but does not work when the ac is on. Does it sound like the whole compressor needs to be replaced? Can I just replace the clutch or could there be an internal switch that has gone bad?

 

I have a 2004 ford f250 for a work truck, and the clutch fell off of mine...dont know when or where but it did.....went to use the air a month ago and was none.........just warm. I did purchase a new clutch, auto zone had it in stock......i assume you could replace that one also....i would have it checked out by a hvac company first if your not sure, and then when u find out what the trouble is, fix it yourself so you can save some money.......i think they told me that the whole compressor was $240 and the clutch by itself was $91................good luck....let us know how this all turns out.....
