Air conditioner problem
The clutch on the AC compressor on my 2001 Ranger kicks on them immediately kicks off again. If I'm stopped and in drive, the tach drops a couple hundred RPM when the AC clutch engages, then immediately goes back to normal when the clutch disengages about second later. Any idea what causes this? Thanks, Henry -- |

Low refrigerant level is the first thing that comes to mind.

Many fords cycle the AC compressor quickly while defrosting for the drying effect on the air. This helps to de-fog the windshield quicker. -- TomO '01 V-Star 1100 Classic '84 Yamaha Venture Royale |
