Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / December 2007Bypass Compresor 1996 Voyager?
Can anyone tell me how to bypass the compressor on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager? It's shot and I can't afford to get it fixed right now, but while it's connected, I also can't use the defrost. thx > Can anyone tell me how to bypass the compressor on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager? > It's shot and I can't afford to get it fixed right now, but while it's > connected, I also can't use the defrost. > > thx Does this vehicle have an engine size? ops. It's a 3 litre. I'm pretty sure I can just cut the belt because it only makes the noise when on defrost of AC. But which belt? >> Can anyone tell me how to bypass the compressor on a 1996 Plymouth > Voyager? [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> > Does this vehicle have an engine size? > ops. It's a 3 litre.

Easier is to disconnect the electrical connection to the compressor.

It's worth a try but, don't be surprised if it also disables the heater/defroster blower motor. Disconnecting the clutch for the compressor will surely have the desired effect w/o disabling the blower motor. Bryan compressor siezed or a bad clutch? i have a used clutch i can sell you there is a kit availble from dorman products that will bypass the compressor 125.00 comes to mind > Can anyone tell me how to bypass the compressor on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager? > It's shot and I can't afford to get it fixed right now, but while it's > connected, I also can't use the defrost. > > thx > Can anyone tell me how to bypass the compressor on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager? > It's shot and I can't afford to get it fixed right now, but while it's > connected, I also can't use the defrost. > > thx Why don't you just look for the electrical connector for the low pressure switch on the compressor and disconnect it. The clutch wont engage and your comp. will not run at all. I did exactly this on my 93 ZJ (grand cherokee) two years ago and no additional problems since.

It controls the clutch that turns the compressor on and off. Disconnect it, and no matter what button you push on the dash, the clutch won't engage. This assumes that the clutch itself and the clutch bearing are OK, but since you only complain about a problem on "defrost" I assume that this is indeed the case. > > Can anyone tell me how to bypass the compressor on a 1996 Plymouth Voyager? > > It's shot and I can't afford to get it fixed right now, but while it's [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > since you only complain about a problem on "defrost" I assume that this > is indeed the case. Normally what happens is the air gap between the clutch and the pulley is 0 and the pulley always rubs the clutch as the engine is running, disconnecting the compressor or pulling out fuses will not solve the problem.

Remove the belt if the OP does not want to have it fixed Then why would he only have a problem on "defrost?" > > "Steve" <no@spam.thanks> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Then why would he only have a problem on "defrost?" The original post says he wants to bypass the compressor because it is shot!! Then he says he cant use defrost. The compressor removes the moisture from inside the vehicle when in the defrost/A/C mode. If the compressor is shot to hell and not working, the A/C will not take the moisture out. Maybe Im reading it wrong Glenn >>>"Steve" <no@spam.thanks> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Glenn The way I was reading it is that the compressor is locked, and while he can choose not to push "AC" he still needs the "defrost" function, and when he turns THAT mode on, the screaming starts ;-) I say we punt!!
