    AC Compressor clutch cycling on/off rapidly

    I have a 02 F250 that the AC compressor clutch cycles on/off about 2-3 times per second. Do I replace the relay, sensor or clutch? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Sounds to me like you have a leak in your AC system, that cycling is normally associated with the system not having enough refrigerant or being empty.

    Good Luck,

    I had the same problem on my new 2002 f550. It was the wire going to the connector to the clutch that was failing. I folded it over and electrical taped it to the connector for a temp fix to make sure that was it and forgot about it. Still works like a charm. Give it a try

    Normal cycling is not that fast 2-3 times a second screams wiring or relay. I tested my charge which was full then found the loose wire
