I recently bought a 2008 acura tl without ac and with a slight coolant leak from the radiator. I tried jumping the compressor to see if the clutch would engage and got nothing so I figured that was all that was wrong with the ac. Put a new compressor and radiator in and while I can jump it, it wont engage by itself. the fuse and relay are good but I dont get power at the mg clutch fuse in the under hood box. Also now I have a new problem in that when the car warms up for a minute or two I can hear a ticking sound. No idea where to start from this point and I cant find any problems with solutions online so any ideas are appreciated.

 

Anyone?

 

As for the a/c the compressor connector had the pin ripped out by me and I didnt notice so thats working now but I still dont know about the ticking

 

A/C has full charge?

 

A/C has full charge and is no longer a problem

 

That was easy.
