Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / August 2007a/c clutch solenoid
On a 2003 Ranger 2.3L. is the "a/c clutch solenoid" a separate part or part of the compressor? If separate, where is it located on the 2003 Ranger 2.3L? I used a multimeter measuring amps with the engine off to find an abnormal current drain on my battery by pulling fuses and checking the drop in amps. When I pulled the fuse for the "a/c clutch solenoid", the drain stopped. Looking to get my a/c back now. Just don't know if this is a short or a part that can be replaced without dealing with the compressor. if you mean the a relay, its usually under the hood with the fuses or with some thier relays .many are marked some are not. little square box. http://www.minibite.com/america/malone.htm > On a 2003 Ranger 2.3L. is the "a/c clutch solenoid" a separate part or > part of the compressor?

You can unplug it at the compressor and see if your current drain changes. Al > On a 2003 Ranger 2.3L. is the "a/c clutch solenoid" a separate part or > part of the compressor?

Guess nobody here knows the answer to my QUESTION: Is the "a/c clutch solenoid" a separate part or part of the compressor? If separate, where is it located on the 2003 Ranger 2.3L? "Brian" wrote: ( 2003 Ranger 2.3L ) I have an abnormal battery current drain. When I pull the "a/c clutch solenoid" fuse with the engine off, the drain stops. Where is the a/c clutch solenoid located? _________________________________________________ The A/C clutch and its actuating solenoid are located between the A/C pulley and the A/C compressor pump. The A/C solenoid should have no current applied with the engine off, so the problem is not in the solenoid. It is in the switch or relay or electronics package that actuates the solenoid. I don't know where these are located in a Ranger. Good luck. Rodan. The AC clutch solenoid is the AC clutch... something that someone without a chip on their shoulder would determine easily. There is more on this circuit than just the clutch.... Your owners manual has named the fuse somewhat inappropriately.... Accessing the wiring diagram for this car, we see the most likely culprit as being the AC clutch relay located in the BJB. Word to the wise.... electrical dilemmas will become clear if we choose to access the necessary documentation. Even after all these innumerable years, I regularly refer to the factory manuals when repairing anything.... more important on the modern automobile than ever before simply because of the complexity. If it makes you any happier, we will give all the non-respondents to your appeal a pay cut. Yes... I had a BAD f.cking week..... >> On a 2003 Ranger 2.3L. is the "a/c clutch solenoid" a separate part or >> part of the compressor?

EVERYBODY here knows the answer to your QUESTION, that's why there was no response. Some questions have such a simple answer they are ignored, suspected of being SPAM. Don't be discouraged. Keep asking. Someone will answer. Good luck. Rodan. > On a 2003 Ranger 2.3L. is the "a/c clutch solenoid" a separate part or > part of the compressor?

I wasn't knocking the non-responses before these last few posts, but the reponses beforehand that completely ignored the question. I realize no one is pay here, but if you're going to post an answer, make it relevant to the question asked. Sounds like my problem is a relay, Thanks to all for the reponses. |
