I replaced the relay
I notice the clutch gap is very close can that be related? I order a new a/c compresor and it’s getting here Tuesday I hope that fix the problem
Did you try unplugging compressor to see if it stops running? You might have a short to power some where also what are the high side and low side pressures while it's running?
Ok with engine off look between plate and clutch and check for packing material/ paper plastic etc that might of found it's way in between there. Otherwise I would say get another unit if not easily fixed
If it has voltage with with ac turned off then you will need to see a wiring diagram to make sure it's not a ground side switched circuit or a bias voltage to check system integrity. Also how many wires are at ac compressor connector?
So with key off ac off check voltage at connector
With key on engine off ac off check voltage
Key on engine on ac off check voltage
Key on engine on ac on check voltage
It has only two wires
When the vehicle got here I checked at the conector and saw voltage but the compresor was not turning on so I replaced the a/c compressor and then the system was plugged so I replaced the orifice tube and I replaced the auxiliary filter. And flush the system. So I replaced compresor, condencer, reciver dryer and lines flush,
So know the system is cold but the a/c compresor is not turning off I disconnected a precise sensor from the a/c and the compressor turned off
I remember when I was diagnosis the compressor it was receiving voltage but the voltage was not turning off I thought it was because of need of Freon or something but know that the system is good the only problem is that the compressor won’t turn off I’m afraid of sending the vehicle and the compressor overheating or get damage because it’s not doing the cycle
Ok with that I would chase the wires back to fuse box and see if it's shorted to power or if the relay is stuck on. Also look at live data either through HVAC if auto ac or body control module if manual and see if data changes for ac commanded. If those data sets don't change from the button being turned off it could be the button or module keeping power on.
A quick test for short to power to clutch is pull ac clutch fuse and check both sides of fuse slots for voltage. If there is voltage on both then you will need to follow the wires and look for where it's shorted.
