The AC compressor on my Explorer is dying. Specifically, the compressor clutch is dying. When you turn on the AC, the clutch just slips and makes a burning smell. For now, I disconnected the wire on the compressor to prevent it from engaging. But it's still making noise whenever the engine is running. (compressor is starting to seize??
)
So, I know I need a new compressor. I already bought a brand new unit. I also got new hoses because I suspect my old ones are leaking.
Is there anything else I need to replace?? Drier? Accumulator? Orifice tube? I only want to do this job once.
A fast response would be much appreciated. I need to order any more parts by tomorrow morning.
