TJ'06 - Removing the A/C clutch relay
Hi!
I'm new to this group, I live in Greece and I just recently bought a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. Here's my question: Would I cause any damage to the A/C system if I remove the A/C clutch relay so that I can use the window defroster mode of the heater, without engaging the A/C ? If that works ok, I plan to wire a switch somewere so that I can enable / disable the A/C from the driver's seat. Thanks, Bill Spiliotopoulos. |
Re: TJ'06 - Removing the A/C clutch relay
Why would you want to? The A/C is supposed to run with the defroster to help
dehumidify and clear the windshield faster.

Re: TJ'06 - Removing the A/C clutch relay
I have the small 2.4 liter engine, and the A/C draws a noticeable amount of
power... plus I get less fuel consumption. Anyway, the windshield is defogged efficiently without the A/C on rainy weather. I plan to install a switch so that I can engage the A/C when I need to dehumidify the cabin and deffog the side windows as well. Thanks for the responses. Bill Spiliotopoulos.

Re: TJ'06 - Removing the A/C clutch relay
Why does this question come up a couple times a month? People write their

Re: TJ'06 - Removing the A/C clutch relay
Well, the fact is you don't need a/c to defog glass.
Defoggers have been around for almost as long as there's been glass. The early ones took the form of a forearm sleeve or other suitable loose bit of clothing. I still use this method on the rare occasion I get fog in my A/C less Cherokee. Works way faster than blowing warm humid air (what comes out of the defroster without ac) on the glass... billy ray wrote: > Why does this question come up a couple times a month?

A lot of that steamy windows is from our own hot breath, if you

Re: TJ'06 - Removing the A/C clutch relay
If you are making short trips, most of the fog comes from running the
A/C with the defroster--old water. The OP could try just removing the electrical contact at the A/C clutch, put a bit of tape on it and cover the connector in the A/C. If that works for them, then, yes, adding a switch or a relay and a switch would work. Probably an easier way to do it, but I don't have a wiring diagram for that vehicle.

That is true, but it doesn't need to be done that frequently to keep it in good shape. |
