HI, I have a 03 acura tl that I installed a new ac compressor on about a year ago. I had to replace it because i was no longer working, well, after I put the new one in vacuumed the system and recharged. The ac blew cold for no more than 2 seconds and has not blown cold since. The AC Clutch is not clicking on, iv checked fuses and relays and there is voltage to the compressor and can not figure out for the life of me what is wrong. Could I possibly have a bad compressor and need to replace that one also, any Ideas or tricks is greatly appreciated. Thanks for any ideas...

If theres voltage to the compressor it means theres enough pressure in the system so you can rule that out, When you put the new one did you have to transfer the clutch assembly ? May have missed the the ground connection on the compressor.

we need to change Eriks name to Mr Helpful Diagram!! always with the good info!

the ac compressor operation and the ac condenser fan are tied together somehow
when you turn ac on it automatically runs the passenger side fan at radiator
If there is a problem with the fan itself/motor (several recent failures on here) or fan switch/ac on switch, it could keep the comp from running, no way to extract heat without the cooling fan running!

There's also a thermal limiter on the compressor. Sometimes on the positive side of the coil, sometimes on the negative. Did you have to transfer this from the old compressor?
