A/C CLUTCH SOLENOID
Have an 98 Grand Cherokee
The a/c clutch solenoid is staying engaged and running down my battery.
Does any one know if this is a ground seeking or power seeking circuit to
activate the solenoid.
I know a lead comes from the powertrain control module to the a/c compressor
clutch relay, but don't have a diagram or schematic to follow.
Is there a way to test the powertrain control module.
thanks for any help

Re: A/C CLUTCH SOLENOID
Have you tested the connection at the clutch plug for power? I just
can't see, the ignition switch, A/C position switch, and low pressure
switch, all have to be closed at the same time. Unbelievable
coincidence.

Should be the same as my 93ZJ

Pull the relay. If the clutch is still engaged then
it's dead. The clutch can be replaced without having to
disconnect the compressor.

Re: A/C CLUTCH SOLENOID
When I pull the relay the solenoid de-energizes.
I'm thinking there is a short somewhere or chaffed wire, supplying maybe a
ground for the solenoid to energize.
