Morning all!
After having run without any issues all season, I found my A/C compressor will not engage when I tried using it yesterday.
I checked the fuse and even tried swapping in a known good relay, no luck. I have no schematic for checking the switch itself. I used a DVM and find no
12v at the connector to the clutch assembly.Any thoughts on that?
On an unrelated matter, the truck is a 4x4 5.9L with just shy of 96K on the clock.
I crawled underneath since it was in the garage anyway and tried to inspect the steering assembly (tie rod ends etc). I have noticed some "noise" in what I think is the front end - clunks, creaks etc.
I really have no feel what what is acceptable wear and feel at that age. The passenger side tie rod end clunks when I apply a twist to the assembly, and all of the contact points move freely with only that part having that clunk associated with it.
How about your thoughts on that?
Thanks in advance!
