CJK440 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 The A/c system in my 96 Legacy GT crapped out. It keeps blowing the 10 amp AC fuse. If I temporarily jump the fuse the compressor clutch engages but starts to slip (you can see the clutch hub spinning with the belt then it skips etc). I assume the solenoid that engages the clutch is bad, its burnt out which doesn't grab like its supposed to and draws more amps than it should. I checked with chain parts stores and they want $300 for a compressor but don't list the clutch seperate. Any way to fix the clutch on this reasonably or should I look for a junkyard part.

CJK440 Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 It'll blow. A 20 won't blow but the clutch still slips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
