Chrysler Repair: Voyager AC clutch Disassembly, clutch replacement, chrysler service


Question
QUESTION: Hi,
I just bought a 99 Voyager 2.4 SE. I replaced bothe belts and i tried the AC. The clutch fuse keeps burning and i assume it is something wrong on the coil.I would fix it but i have no idea how to remove the clutch.
I was wondering if there is any chance to remove it while the compressor is still attached to the engine.
I live in sweden and they charge too much at any chrysler service.(300 euros just to refill the freon)
Thanks a lot!

ANSWER: Thanks for the very kind evaluation, Cosmin. Please let me know if you want the instructions for the clutch replacement if you don't have a manual that shows all the details.

Hi Cosmin,
Yes it looks like you could do it without removing the compressor.
I would prefer to xerox copy and postal mail you the pages as it is about 2 pages in length and has some drawings. Use the "thank and rate" tab where you can put a mailing address in the comment section.
You could first try to disconnect the clutch wire at the compressor and then remove the clutch relay from its socket in the power box under the hood. Check to make sure that the reading from the rear pin of the relay socket to ground is infinite just in case there would be a short.

QUESTION: Ok then!
First i would like to know what do you mean by 'rear pin'on the relay.they have some numbers on the pins.
And of course some drawing would make ones work a lot easier.
Thank you!

Answer
Hi Cosmin,
If the pins are numbered, the output of the current coming from the relay to the clutch coil is #87. So I just suggest checking that the wire from that pin to the clutch coil is not shorted to ground. If it is not, then you have to assume the coil itself is shorted out and overdrawing the fuse.
I am proposing to make a printed copy of the pages and postal mail them to you in Sweden. But to do that I need to know your postal address. The site does provide for posting of scanned item, thus the need for postal delivery to you.
