Archived from groups: alt>autos>ford>focus (more info?)

I have the 1997 ford escort with the split port induction 2000
engine. The A/C clutch engages and disengages while A/C is on in a 3
or 4 second cycle. It's been doing this for several years and makes
the car feel like it's surging. I changed the CCRM last year thinking
that would fix the problem. It didn't. I just had the compressor
replaced because it went out. The A/C blows cold but it still has the
on/off cycle. Since the CCRM and Compressor are now both new and the
problem still exists, does anyone know what else it could be? I
checked the manual looking for the relays but it doesn't show them.
Does this configuration have those relays? If so, where are they
located? Help!

Sorry I can't help with your problem; it might be better to post it to a
more appropriate NG as this one deals exclusively with the Focus.

Is your system fully serviced? If you are low on refridgerant it will
cause the surging. also the pressure sensor might be failing.

I would definately say you have a low charge level, or the HP switch is
faulty.
