Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / July 20071999 Ford EXP A/A Problems
I have a Ford explore, the truck is hard to start once I put on my A/C. I turn the A/C switch off and the truck starts up fine.Can you help me with this problem? OK... do you mean the engine turns over slowly with the AC on? Please define "hard to start" a little better.... >I have a Ford explore, the truck is hard to start once I put on my A/C.

You may want to get the A/C system checked. Sounds like it's causing enough resistence to prevent starting...like a hydrostatic lock condition > Yes, it will drag as if the battery is dieing.

Perhaps an overcharge condition exists.... > You may want to get the A/C system checked.

And yes, the compressor could by hydrolocking but i am inclined to say the compressor would be destroyed once the engine ran. > I have a Ford explore, the truck is hard to start once I put on my A/C.
