battery dying, jumper cable from battery to ac compressor
#13
Why would you do that? the compressor is one of the only components proven to be working!!!

I'm going to get another compressor because the only way to get it to work properly is to put a jumper on it from the battery. For now I just unhook the wire from the battery when my car sits overnight. Then when I get ready to drive just hook it back up. Its crazy but gives me cold ac. I live in Baltimore. Sum hot days round this time.

R u sure. My mechanic said I need a new one. Also sum people in this thread said it wouldn't engage and that is y the guy put a jumper on it. So what do u suggest I do to figure out y it won't work without the jumper. Thx for the help

You need to find out why the compressor isn't receiving 12v when the AC is on. I would check the fuse and make sure that the relay is clicking when you hit the AC button. If those don't shed some light then you will need a wiring diagram or a diagnostic flow chart to help you track down the problem.

If your a/c is blowing cold right now, then the compressor is not your problem. Replacing your compressor will be a waste of money.
It is likely that you have a fuse, a relay, or a wiring problem that will be much less expensive for you to fix.
Check for voltage on the red wire that goes to your a/c compressor when you don't have the jumper wire connected when the a/c should be running. Let us know if you have battery voltage (~12V).
