a few weeks ago when i was under my hood i noticed my compresor was on when the switch was set to off. i turned the switch to the a/c possition and then turned it back to off. it turned off. i havent noticed if its been on after that. probably doesnt help just thought id add my 2 cents

 

Any luck?

 

INCREDIBLE!! If the system has a low-charge the compressor will...AT MOST...cycle on-and-off...IF it even comes on at all. If it's engauging the compressor clutch all the time with the switch off...It has to have an electrical problem on the CONTROL side of the compressor circuit.

 

No kidding!
Wouldn't that be nice to have nice cold a/c with a "bone dry" system

 

If you read all the posts, you would see that I said my system does cycle on and off. I just worded it different. And yes it does come ON.

 

Yes it would be nice, but if you read all the posts you would see that I agreed it would be an electrical or switch issue when I seen he still had cold air.

 

the selector switch (where you can select max a/c, a/c, head only, feet only, etc.) on my 1996 has vacuum lines connected to it. so the problem is probably in some electrical issue with the pressure on/off switch maybe. this switch has electrical wires connected to it, it is connected to what i believe is the receiver-dryer Unless somehow the selector did break and have the vacuum continuously in a/c position.

Uhhhh... yea!!! lol. I'm just bein a *****, for his sake he did correct himself.... can't stop lmao at this.

 

Took selector switch apart and did not see anything obviously wrong.It did have 3 wires going to it along with vacuum lines.Wish I had checked voltages at switch to see if I had lost power in the off position(hind site is 20 20).A wiring diagram would be nice too.I'll do some more checks when I get time.Thanks for all your input.

 

lets see if this works
