A/C on/off
I have a 98 UK spec Explorer. (4.0L V6)
Whilst looking under the bonnet (sorry, hood) for any sign of a vacuum leak,
(bank running lean), I noticed the compressor clutch switching on/off at idle.
2 questions:
1. Should this be happening when the A/C is not switched on?
2. Idle speed changes when compressor/clutch activates is this normal?
It seems to switch on for a few seconds then off for 20 seconds.
Being from the UK, we rarely have to use A/C so my knowledge of it is limited.
Any help would be great.
