A/C Compressor & Clutch
Signs of a Failing A/C Compressor and Clutch
If your A/C system isn't working, a common cause is a problem with the A/C compressor and clutch. The clutch operates your compressor, and sometimes, a jammed clutch can cause issues with the A/C system. You may hear squealing or grinding sounds if your clutch is jammed.
A larger problem is if the entire compressor has failed. If that happens, you'll need to replace several parts of the A/C system, including the clutch, RPM sensor, and the receiver/dryer. This is probably one of the most expensive issues you can encounter with your A/C system.
You can help your A/C system stay healthy in a few different ways. Recharge your A/C refrigerant roughly every two years so it won't get too low, and replace your filter every 12,000 miles or so. If you don't use your A/C much, you should still turn it on regularly throughout the year. This will help pressurize the compressor and prevent the hoses and fittings from gumming up.
