Hi

Cheers

Hi Dan, have you checked of the coil engages by disconnecting the clutch feed wire at the connector near the top of the compressor and applying 12v direct to the coil?

The clutch not engaging could be electrical and the fault be elsewhere.

Hi
Thought I'd share this
I ended up stripping and rewinding my old clutch coil to replace the one I "borrowed " from dbros1+2

I like it. Have you got a coil winder or did you do it by hand?

D'oh. I completely forgot! I thought you had coil winders for the big big motors..

I'm thinking of a production run of central locking solenoids ;)
