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.

 

Why would you want to? The A/C is supposed to run with the defroster to help
dehumidify and clear the windshield faster.

Won't hurt the A/C system at all.

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.
