I have tried everything, let me start by saying that I am no pro mechanic, and I am very new at fixing vehicles. However most of the work I have done has been methodical and well planned.
Let me start from the beginning
I have a 1998 Ranger 3.0
A few days after buying this truck I noticed the AC was no longer working.
The AC clutch would engage right as I started the truck for about 3 seconds and then it would stop, and never turn back on.
I have swapped the refrigerant
I have replaced the orifice tube
I have replaced the high and low sensors.
I have even replaced the electrical connector that goes to the compressor.
I believe the compressor is getting power however something is telling it to shut off.
The last test that I did showed the low side was a bit high and the high side was a bit low.
When I Hotwire the compressor briefly it does engage, and the air is cool.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
